Bad Shocks

[mackn666]

Yo Marvel, I'm kind of ticked off. My car has 35k on it and that special "car on tracks" feeling at speed is virtually gone!! :x
I am no mechanic so i dunno what the hell is wrong with the suspension. Is it bad shocks maybe?? Do BMW shocks last only 35k miles!!??
My car already came with the more cushy suspension, yet i was still amazed at the handling confidence. Now it is gone and i need to do something.
I saw an ad for Bilstein sport shock absorbers lasting up to 100,000 miles. . . is this true?? Can I put these shocks on BMW's non-sport suspension as is, or do i need more mods to accomidate them?

Are you sure it's the shocks? It might be your tires. If your car is wandering all over the road I would suspect the tires first.

I would agree with apar328i initially...

Shocks only dampen the springs, so if your car bounced up and down after hitting bumps, I'd suspect them...
