A bit less because there was also a rebate going on at the time, but that's about right for the non-rebate price. Check the end of this thread for a current 5% discount code:

I've traditionally gone with Bilsteins for the lifetime warranty (and the German name for the snob factor). On my 1995 E36 M3, they stiffened the ride. I tolerated it because it was still somewhat in the character of the car, although it never handled rough roads as gracefully as the factory suspension. On my 2003 E91 wagon, the Bilsteins definitely made the ride harsh and degraded the character of the car (runflats too!). I was leery of doing that to my wife's daily driver, but the factory stuff is (A) spendy and (B) doesn't have a great lifespan. The Monroes win on (A) and (B). I regret not knowing about them when I did the wagon, but oh well.

Looking on Monroe's website, I see they also have Strut-Mate mounting kits that I did not purchase. I probably should have thrown those in there too. My mechanic said everything was still good enough to get by, and we're on a bit of a budget these days with a second kiddo on the way. Again, oh well.
