where you get those from and how much they run ya?

To MrBMWX5, are those rear shocks for rear air suspension? If they are, would you mind share the part number? Any picture DIY to help on this job? TIA

I don't have Air suspention ,but the replacement job is the same.
these are for non air suspension. but the Manufacture

Part #: F4-BE5-A744
For the Air suspension Manufacturer Part #: F4-BE5-A744-H0

DIY coming up soon(i meant very soon)

Excellent! The car has 80K, but some age. If the cost is not too high such as DIY, I like to do it. Thanks again.

can't wait :2thumbs:

You're doing it right with 1st class parts - 84k on my '01 X5 and so far I can't seem to wear anything out - even the Diamaris still have too much tread to replace just yet(new at 36k) - front brakes were done at 28k by original lease/owner, but still are good today - my X5 gets a thorough checkup 2x a year just before I do my cross country travel from SC to ID(May) & back(Sept) - I have some electronic upgrade issues, but I just plain love this car - I wish you the best with yours
