This E60 535i/545i/550i Sport rear shock absorber is a direct replacement for the original. This is the correct shock for the factory sport suspension. Sachs is an original equipment supplier to BMW for shocks, struts, and mounts so this is a direct replacement to restore the original sport suspension handling and ride. While we offer other shock brands that are more performance-oriented, if you prefer the original BMW ride and handling this is the best choice. Note: even though this part number is associated with the factory sport suspension, Sachs will sometimes combine applications. As the OEM they have determined this is the most suitable shock for the sport suspension. This shock is not suitable for aftermarket lowering springs but will work with factory Sport springs.
This is sold per shock absorber. The left and right are the same part. They should be replaced in pairs so order 2. New mounts, dust boots, and bump stops are sold separately.
This is an OEM rear shock manufactured by Sachs - an original supplier to BMW for this part, as well as many other suspension components. As the OEM it meets all of BMW's original design, fitment, and performance requirements and is TUV approved. OEM parts are the best alternative to more expensive Original BMW parts because they are virtually identical without the inflated price tag. This part has a two year warranty.
