Default Bilstein B4

Hello TI lovers,

I would like to replace the front shocks, so I've searched on Ebay.
My choice is Bilstein B4 shocks, but does it fits on 318TI Mtechnik?

Anyone has experience with these shocks?

Thanks in advance.

The Bilstein worldwide catalog does not list the B4 as a fit for cars with the M Tech suspension, the listed fit is the Sprint. I think looking at thier catalog the cross reference is: B2 = Touring Class sold in the US. B4 = Heavy Duty sold in the US. B6 Sport = Sport sold in the US. B8 Sprint = Sport Short sold in the US. The link for the 318 Ti page is http://www.carparts-cat.com/webkat.a...7018004&ROOT=1

Hmmm I found on Ebay the brand Sachs Boge, they make shocks for Mtechnik.
But I can't find any shocks models for TI Compact.

US part numbers for Sachs-Boge for M-Technic are on page 9:

However, you may want to look at the distributor for your country here:
