Hello fellow 3ers out there,My 323ia is starting to age, and i think its time to change shock absorbers, springs, etc. I commute to work and back home on a long motorway stretch, and use speeds of 130-160. Are there any suggestions on shocks that have the good stability for high speeds, I was looking into KONI FSD/Bilstein/Sachs/KW but got ZERO knowledge on aftermarket parts. BTW, I don't need rock hard shocks. (roads in Bangkok are ****)Thank you all
 
130-160 is not considered high speed for BMW, in fact standard BMW suspensions are designed for performance orientated comfort of speed up to 200kph, at least. So for your application, standard OEM replacement is fine.
 
oh ok, I was just looking into the aftermarket parts because i don't know the price of the oem shocks. But gotta admit though, the oem shocks are still pretty good i think
