BMW Shocks & Struts for BMW 3 Series E30 (1984-1991)

Clear BMW chassis

Please ensure your correct model is selected

Looking to buy shocks for your BMW? Turner has the best options available. We carry only the highest quality German brands, including Bilstien, Koni (which come with Lifetime Warranty) as well as Genuine BMW shocks & struts. We won't carry a shock if it's not something we would use on our own personal BMWs or our Turner Motorsport BMW project cars. Would you want to use anything else?

Is you BMW not riding and driving like the crisp cornering machine it used to? It's probably time for a new set of shocks. The factory BMW shocks typically only last about 50 or 60 thousand miles before they wear out and start failing. Failed, leaking or lifeless old shocks make your BMW feel unsettled, cause uneven tire wear and can even be dangerous. Your BMW's shocks are a critical part of the suspension system, and should keep your tires planted on the road. If your shocks haven't been replaced in 60, 80 or 100 miles, you are definitely due for a new set.

Choose a shock type below to browse shocks for your BMW. Bilstein and Koni offer higher performance, improved handling over stock with limited Lifetime Warranty. Genuine BMW shock absorbers are also available for some models if you want a factory ride quality once again.

Wulf Gaertner Autoparts AG manufactures and markets automotive spare parts under its MEYLE brand. Since its foundation in 1958, Wulf Gaertner Autoparts has been an owner-operated, unlisted family business on the aftermarket scene. Since 1995, Wulf Gaertner Autoparts AG has been manufacturing and trading under its MEYLE brand. They pride themselves on top-grade quality-tested spare parts for passenger cars, vans and commercial vehicles. Struts are vital to your vehicles on the road performance. They improve handling, make the ride smoother, and save wear and tear on the rest of your car's drive train in the process. The strut cartridge is what most people call the shock. It’s the cylindrical cartridge located inside the spring of your steering arm and basically acts as a dampener so that the spring cannot instantly throw your car's chassis back up after hitting a bump. The strut slows the rebound and makes the ride more comfortable and tolerable. Over time, strut cartridges wear out and they prevent the strut from doing its job. When this happens, it will ruin the ride of your vehicle, so needless to say, it should be replaced.
