[tweiboon]

As i been informed that original absorber only last for 1 or 2 years time. If i need to buy new 4 absorbers then which absorbers i should looking for ? Any recommendation ?If possible please give me post picture or link here..... thanks

My ori absorbers lasted 8 years when I changed it last year. Ori replacement for you would be Boge Automatic I guess. My ori M-Sport absorbers were changed with Sachs Advantage.

Boge is alright for e39 unless u want to get high performance one like bilstein b8 etc.

Yes. Bro JFT is correct, I was suggesting for original replacement rather than an upgrade.

B12 is firm. Driver would love it. The passenger(s) may not like it as much as the driver does.
My 520i on B12 + front strut bar (aftermarket) + Eibach ARB (red), fantastic handling so long as the tyres have good grips (soft, much threads) and road is dry!

Wanna ask... my car has lowered springs (i think) since the stance looks lower compared to my friends E39.
Am looking to replace my absorbers as its gotten rather bouncy of late and not as firm. What would be a good replacement which is between performance and pure comfort?

Am new to this whole E39 absorbers thing and would like to find out some info. Been hearing Bilstein's good but am not interested in the B12. Was thinking something along the lines of B6 or B8 but i'm not too sure of its differences.

Depends, they look on how much you bought it for + shipping. Also depends on the mood of the customs guy it seems.
