[QUOTE="Vroom325, post: 421764, member: 17621"] Guys, my E46 325i just reached 6yrs old & mileage is 56k km now. It my first beemer. Took over last year Jun with 35k km of mileage from AB as premium selection car. Not sure if the abosorber is still alive. Well, still feel that it's working fine but the rear seems weak now. I've just spotted some oil stain on the absorber cover(a plastic cover outside the absorber) during my car wash. i guess almost time? The rear clearance is about 1.5"(2fingers gam gam) & my car is ori setting which is soft. I think they could be coming to the end of their life those mileage is low? Anyone knows if 2004 E46325i exclusive model, Is my ori absorber Boge or Sachs(though) the same. If it's Boge, I would prefer sachs. Current setting is too soft for me. Slight harder absorber will be good. When I replace my absorber, say I buy from BA, shall I specify that i want Sachs for my car? Or B4 or B8 is better? I just want the ride a bit more firm, not hard, I need certain level of comfort too. Any advise, guys? [/QUOTE]
