A-Premium Rear Shock Absorbers Set of 2 for BMW 1 & 3 Series — Gas-Filled Direct-Fit Rear Pair

A-Premium rear shock absorbers are a set of two gas-filled replacement shocks engineered to restore rear suspension control for compatible BMW 1 and 3 Series models.

Technical measurements and OEM reference numbers are included to help confirm fit before purchase.
