In the 35+ years I have been driving, I have never had a set of shocks that felt bad - then got better.
I don’t want to malign the vendor because it is generally a reliable source for parts and a BMW CCA supporter but that sounded bogus to me too.

The point here is truth in advertising and full disclosure so that customers can make an informed decision. Quote from the web site:
Bilstein street shocks will give you an unparalleled combination of comfort and control when paired with BMW springs. Thanks to a patented oil and nitrogen gas design, Bilstein shocks reduce body roll to deliver exceptional road handling and cornering stability. They also reduce wear and tear on steering and suspension components and increase tire life by dampening wheel movements on the roughest roads and in the tightest corners. “

Well, not true.
