Useful to know to replace the bushings.

Thank you!

A) WHY did you change the shocks/struts? b) is this a change to benefit street driving or off road? My own need is for Off road as the Haul Road to Dead Horse just ate my shocks and I do frequently drive off road in Death Valley and other advenentures. Thx for comments, r

I changed them because the new lci2 jcw shocks handle better while still giving the car a stock feel. It benefits street driving a lot more. if you want offroad handling, the adaptive dampers on minis equipped with them are very nice. I used to live a 10 min drive on a dirt road up the side of a mountain and they were handy. Put the car into green mode for maximum comfort and go for it! If your car does not have those, sometimes removing or disconnecting the sway bar can make the car a lot more comfortable on dirt roads. Although you will loose the handling of a mini on asphalt. There are some aftermarket offroad shocks out there, although I have not been able to find people that sell them. Just advertising, lol.

Hi what part numbers were the shocks please (THANKS FOR REPLYING)👍👍👍👍👍

[@carcreationsyt]

Hello, sorry I have been a while looking for the part numbers as I installed them without writing them down and had to get the car in the air before I could look up the labels. However you have, Front Right - 6852416, Front left - 6852417 and then for rear it was a little scratched from removal and install but I pieced it together and cross checked it with BMW and I believe its 6879654 for both the rear ones. Hope that helps!

[@carcreationsyt]

😂😂 I wonder why no one has done that!!!

Will this work if you have the dynamic dampening suspension?

[@carcreationsyt]

It will work as long as you dont have electronic dynamic suspension.
