Front shocks are getting quite noisy and a little crashy, no history of when they were replaced last so time to change both of them.

I’ve got E91 325D M sport 2008 auto (pre lci).
Real oem is telling me
FL 31316786013
FR 31316786014

When I am looking at the above it doesn’t seem like they are part numbers for the m sport suspension but I could be wrong. When I look at shock manufacturers with the above part numbers, the “for m sport technology” is not included. When I find the ones which are for the m sport technology shocks, the OE listed part number is different. I don’t suppose anyone could tell me what the correct part number is for my car?

Also what would brands/makes would be recommended? I have a stock setup so just looking for a good quality stock replacement. I’ve mainly been looking at the TRW and Sachs shocks so far

Thanks

Here are what I put on my '09 e91 in February, 2022. Mine has sport suspension, so similar to your car. These are Bilstein B4, which replace OEM.

LF 22-145277
RF 22-145284
rear 19-145266

I have used these B4's in numerous BMWs, and have been very satisfied with them.

Thanks I’ll check them out.

Are the shocks which fit sport suspension the same as msport? Just as I notice some of the shocks specs will say “sport suspension” and others “msport technology”.

Got there in the end, I was being blind. There is a section on real oem that I missed which says for m sport suspension and the OE part number brings up shocks which do state “for vehicles with m-technology and sport suspension”.
