Aftermarket shock absorber with EDC

drukpa · 04-16-2023, 10:00 AM

My front left shock absorber is leaking a lot of fluid, genuine BMW struts with EDC are around $1K a piece.

Searched eBay for the part number and so many results came up, looks like Chinese parts and it says "w/ EDC", looks exactly like the genuine one without the harnesses.
Anyone used these?

Or would I be better of buying a non-EDC genuine one and code out the EDC function?

Car is a 2011 X3 28i.

Hello @drukpa and community
Are there any aftermarket shocks out there with EDC? I can't seem to find any other than OEM BMW that will cost a small fortune!!

Ended up buying OEM EDC front shocks. $2K for two. Saw some eBay ones too, but got told by too many people.

Next time I need to change shocks again, am going to go with non-EDC ones and do a EDC Delete coding. 1K per shock is too much.

Seems like a miracle price, not sure what gives with the discount.
