[BMWCSRegistry] Boge shocks & I Be Back

[A Wegweiser]

Yes, I've returned from Auburn and South Bend, IN. A short report of 
adventures follows later today.
But:

I have heard no complaints about KYB shocks. They are inexpensive but 
"cheap" as a pejorative is unfamiliar to me. Low cost - relatively, 
yes.
Bilstein is a fine shock but not nearly commensurate with their 
outrageous cost unless, perhaps you intend to do a lot of racing with 
a Coupe (a very BAD idea without many, many modifications - better 
spent on a nice M3 E36.)

Bilstein has also been notoriously bad in making good on their much 
advertised warranty.
  I've had a few of these yellow beauties sitting in my garage for 
several years because they didn't want to know me when I claimed 
replacement.
Yes, they do give up but, like Rolls-Royce, "NOTHING ever fails on a 
Rolls, Sir!"
(Refers to an old tale I'll repeat on request.)

  I went for Boge which are just fine since Ilse is retired from track 
driver school and only does autocrosse now and then to keep her old 
bones fit.
