F30 Shocks

[Errol]

Hi all.

F30 2012
does anyone have a contact for the complete set of shocks?
Yes I am out of plan.

Managed to get the brake pads sorted but it is time for shocks.

Thanks
Errol.

What you willing to spend on a set?
Had mine done at the agents, and it was about 8k

 

[Errol]

just called JSN and they want R20k to replace all four with standard ones.

Where did you buy pads from? Price?

Sorry, but is this normal on our cars that the shocks needs to be replaced in 4 years

Ouch !!!
This is why I won't ever own a BMW out of Motor plan. R20k is harsh for Shocks.

For a new F30 you'd be looking at maybe 10k per month financing it. So the OP has to spend 10-20k on shocks now and then he's good (shocks wise) for the next 100,000km...

There is no need to maintain a car with OEM components. I would definitely consider the Koni option from Axis. I did many years ago and have never looked back.

shock degrade more over KM than time my guess is the OP does alot of KM that is also why his car is off MP in general shocks should last 100 000km

Errol I can also supply Sachs they make shocks for BMW OEM lead time is a bit longer on the F30 because they only do sea shipping but price will be less than Koni

Pffft... What are you folks moaning about.

A single active shock on a 5 or 7 is 16k each...
