Hi all - newbie here!
I've just become the 'proud' owner of a BMW 850i. Love it so far, except the front shocks are shocking. I'm still trying to decide whether to try to keep it stock (which it is at the moment) or go a bit crazy.
Can anyone help with where to get standard shocks and springs? Thanks

Thanks guys. I have looked at meeknet its a really useful especially because it's so difficult to find service manuals. My instinct is to keep it as standard as possible. Keep the lovely BMW ride. So I'm going to try to get Sachs if I can.

300 brake sounds reasonable until you factor in the 2 ton weight!
