I have a 2011 e90 320d Msport 4 dr sedan. My mechanic has suggested me to get the Bilstein fitted. Contacted BMW and they gave me a quote for Sachs which is exorbitantly higher than my mechanic.
Can anyone suggest how to ensure if I am getting the right pair?

realoem.com will list every oem part for your car. You can put in your serial number (last 7 digits of your vin) and search by your specific vin.
For this particular part# you would search "front shock absorber" or something of that nature. Based off the information you have me I searched the model and found this part# 31316786001
I'd double check it though. Otherwise if you want something close to stock msport height (maybe a tad lower and a little bit stiffer if that works for you) then Bilstein B6s will probably work just fine.
