Do I have to replace with OEM adaptive drive shocks? If not, what would some options be? If so, where would/could be the cheaper price options be?

Thanks in advance for any help! |
AD was a $4000 option that was much sought after by those in the know. (Clearly not in the 2nd, 3rd...5th- hand marketplace.)
Say to read someone will pick up a used car and have to report "yeah the prior owner hacked that all out"....
There are no aftermarket or OEM replacements that I know of. Only option is OE BMW parts. (or used)
When I face this, I will try and find someone to rebuild mine. Probably need to ship them to a company that works on race cars, a real shock specialist.
Finally, I recall back in the day the early 1990-92 Q45s with the adaptive suspension...people would hack them up, then finally the car would arrive to a true nut who would restore them. Sigh.
