If you were replacing them all I’d say konis. On the durability factor - hard to say but I’ve never had issues with the konis I’ve installed on all my cars. B4s will last a long time. There are too many unknowns to gushed this.
Also be sure to replace your bump stops. Made a huge difference on my car as these cars spend so much time in them!

I wasn't clear I know, but if I put B8s on the back I would be upgrading the struts to match (despite them being fairly new.) I am just going to stick with the B4 shocks for now to match what I have. Less work and cheaper and more ideal for my needs.
Yeah my rear bump stops are trashed so they'll be getting replaced. |
Not a bad choice at all. The car will still be transformed by the B4s. You'll wonder how BMW could put such crappy shocks on the rear after a couple of miles with the Bilsteins.
Post up your thoughts after the install.
