Help needed: suspension / shock parts

[Adi]

Need some help, busy re-doing my shocks and suspension for a 1991 e34 M5. Urgently looking for the following two parts:

- bump stop, the rubber piece.....
- dust cover

At the dealer these items together are just over R2000 in total....

Tried the usual suspects:
- BMW
- BEMOWS
- Goldwagen
- Partquip
- Diesel Electric
- Imcomex

Anybody got any suggestions where else I can try?

I normally sell these kits with shocks:

they keep out dust better than the stock items and the polly lasts way better than the foam the oem uses...

R 665 for all 4

 

[Adi]

have you got stock for the M5 e34?

---

and for the back? have you got the dust covers too? and how much?

 

[moranor@axis]

comes as a complete kit front and back with dust covers... it is a universal kit but because it uses soft polly for the dust cover and cable ties it can fit pretty much any car...

 

[Adi]

aaah, and you have stock? They will fit the bilstein shocks?

 

[moranor@axis]

the B8 I quoted you on come with the dust covers and bump stops:

dont think these will fit the front on those because they upside down dampers so the 'rod' is very thick... will definitely fit the rears...

bump stop inside has a small lip with 12.5mm bore that can be cut off to make it 22mm bore

we have some bumpstops stuck in customs for the last week because the courier messed up on tarrif code :bangdesk:

 

[Adi]

ok, confused, Imcomex said the B8 shock doesn't........phoned them this morning.......ok, let me take mine apart, see what shocks I have, see if the can be recondinitoned.

---

can one buy those blue dust covers seperately, if I can recondition my shocks?

 

[moranor@axis]

that pic is off the Bilstein site and they dont list the cover separate on this car... there is only one part number for these dampers so not sure where the pics come from if the cover is not included...

in the install guide on the B8 fronts:
Do not reuse original bump stop, since
BILSTEIN cartridge has built in bump stop.

so you dont need to worry about the bump stop fitting the dust cover will work if the shocks dont come with dust covers

 

[Adi]

that is if I need new shocks, I am hoping for being able to re-use and recondition the old ones, like on my 535iM, but need to check which ones I have first

 

[moranor@axis]

check the pin diameter when you have them out

 

[Adi]

shall do!
