I ordered a pair of KYB Excel G dampers but I have been sent Boge automatic instead. Should I insist on KYB or are Boge as good.

The KYB are gas pressurised, I don't know about the Boge.

To fit BMW E46 328Ci if that makes any difference.

I may be wrong here but Sachs/Boge are probably OEM to your car and KYB are slightly naff aftermarket efforts. I'd say you've had a result unless you wanted to stiffen it up?

Thanks, I was wondering if the Boge I have are the exact OEM match or a cheapo version, the car is a Coupe with sport suspension as standard fit.

Turns out they are not even the correct parts for my car, I think a refund is called for.
