where to buy replacement aftermarket struts

Hey guys,

maybe I just don't know of all the places to look but does anyone know where i can get the standard replacement struts from my 2014 328D.

every place i call locally or online says that they are out of stock.

I dont want to spend almost 4 times as much for BMW OEM struts

thanks,

Google 'BMW 328d struts'. You'll get about 40,000 hits.

You shouldn't be calling anyone. Go to a site, put in your car information, they'll tell you if it's in stock or not. I did that for 2014 328d at AutoZone, it shows Bilsteins available for ship to home for $134. Finding it took all of 30 seconds start to finish.

...and when you continue on with it...it gives you an estimated delivery date of July 19-20 which is dependent on the vendor, which i was told by 4 or 5 other places that the vendor doesn't expect any stock in till the end of August.

So I guess I will wait and see if that July date changes just like it has on 4 other sites that I have checked. They used to say July and now they all say August.

Autozone just probably hasnt updated their site yet

Not sure if you're dead set on OE stamped shocks or not, but FCP Euro has Bilstein B4/Touring replacements available to ship in 1 day.

I actually just ordered them from JC Whitney, it took about 3 hours or searching just to finally find them there.

I dont have them yet but I chatted and they said that they were is stock and that they were shipping out today...I still will not believe it until they hit my door.

Yeaahhh Bilstein is out of stock all over the place. Backordered I should say, I believe they stopped production because they are working on a contract right now.
