HI Team, anyone know what the best version of ISTA is for the E38, I have read that later versions dropped some compatibility/detail? Is it better to get an older version, if so which? thanks

Hi Team, I need a new right rear shock on my 2001 750iL, I'm wondering what people are doing these days?

I'd like to retain EDC and SLS

Looks like the options are really just:

1. Aerosus, aftermarket

2. Shock rebuild with Nagengast

3. OEM if I can find one, they are out of production

Any other options? also interested in peoples experience with Aerosus or rebuilds?

Thanks
