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.

Made in the USA Want the Ultimate design in a rear shock tower mount? You've found it. These rear shock mounts are designed for use on the track and racing. This set of mounts will help your rear shocks perform the best they can in those conditions. The advantage to using a mount with spherical bearing is that it allows the shock to freely move off axis without side loading the shock shaft like rubber or polyurethane mounts do. Side loading a shock increases stiction and wear which decreases its efficiency. Because these are mounts without an isolator (rubber or polyurethane) to dampen road noise and vibrations we do not recommend them for street cars. These were designed in-house and developed for our own track and race cars.

These TMS bearing mounts include both 10mm and 12mm stainless steel bearing sleeves to work with a wide variety of shock shaft pins. The pin is the upper-most portion of the shock where it passes through the mount. If you need a bearing sleeve size other than 10mm or 12mm please contact us.

These rear shock tower mounts fit the following BMWs:
1984-1991 E30 3 series (all) incl. 318i, 318is, 325, 325e, 325es, 325i, 325is
1992-1998 E36 3 series (all) incl. 318i, 318is, 318ti, 325i, 325is, 328i, 328is, 323is

Want a race-spec rear shock mount but with the comfort of a factory bushing? This ECS rear shock mount combines the precision and articulation of a spherical bearing with the isolation of urethane bushings. The stainless monoball bearing is lined with PTFE lubricant and suspended in 80A urethane and housed in a hard anodized 6061-T6 aluminum mount. The spherical bearing is a better design than most rear shock mounts because it allows the shock to move and tilt without side-loading the shock shaft (which leads to premature failure of the shock). Most Genuine BMW and aftermarket shock mounts are not designed for shock angles and the stress that track or performance driving will put on the shock shaft. The ECS shock mount is properly designed to handle these loads. The internal bearing is also replaceable - it will be years before you have to replace the entire mount. The ECS mount is fully encapsulated to prevent the common shock mount failure of the stock mount design.

ECS RSM features:

  • Maintenance free, PTFE lined, stainless steel monoball spherical bearing for full shaft articulation
  • 80A polyurethane isolation bushings for NVH control
  • Accommodates 10mm, 12mm, or 14mm damper shafts
  • Fully constrained shaft mount makes RSM blow out impossible
  • Hard anodized 6061-T6 construction
  • Fully rebuildable design

* - the RSM comes with the BMW standard 10mm shock shaft bushings. 12mm is used on some performance shocks and 14mm is used on some true motorsport rear shocks.

BMW has long suffered issues with rear shock mount blowout on M3 and non-M 3 Series models dating back to 1984 with the E30 chassis. Little changed over the following two decades, and E36, E46, and Z3/Z4 models are also prone to this style of failure. After striking a pothole or another seemingly innocuous obstacle, a clunking from the rear emerges and handling becomes sloppy. Your shocks have blown through their mounts. Enter the Ultimate Performance Rear Shock Mount Kit from ECS Tuning. Not only does their industry-first design alleviate the blowout problem once and for all, but allows rear dampers to fully articulate, for the best possible damper performance and longevity. They accomplish this with no noticeable increase in noise, vibration, or harshness (NVH) thanks to their unique rebuildable polyurethane isolation. The poly bushings not only keep NVH to a minimum, but they also reduce impact loading on the bearing, improving bearing life over full solid mounted monoball designs. To further improve bearing life and longevity, this design incorporates a lower dust seal to keep road debris, grit, and other contaminants out of the bearing. These are one of the best rear shock mounts available, and the last you will ever need. Features: Maintenance-free, PTFE lined, stainless steel monoball spherical bearing for full shaft articulation Lower dust seal for improved bearing life 80A polyurethane isolation bushings for NVH control and improved bearing life Accommodates 10mm* Fully constrained shaft mount makes blowouts impossible Hard anodized 6061-T6 construction Class 10 black zinc plated studs New OEM lock nuts included Fully rebuildable design *For use with factory-style 10mm damper shafts. If you have factory-style mounts presently, you have 10mm damper shafts. *During installation a 17ft-lb torque spec is required to avoid damage to the mounts.
