      Angry Front EDC shock absorbers

      i replaced my front shock absorber yesterday and at the same time i completely opened the old one ,GUESS WHAT, it's just an ordinary shock absorber like al the others, with difference of 2 electro valves, one with large openings for return flow, "comfort", and one with small return flow holes, "sport"
      i can't believe that those 2 valves make such a difference in price, al the rest is just like another ordinary shock absorber !
      i am gonna look out for a kit to replace the parts that are broken, wich should be available at a fraction of the BMW price at the boge factory. the price for those shocks is NOT CORRECT !!

      BAD NEWS, i just received news from the boge factory in Germany,they don't have autorisation to sell a kit with replacements part, BMW has the rights,so the only way is the BMW way !! on the other hand, i think the internals of the shock are the same as on the 535 besides 2 electro valves, so maybe we still have some luck !
