Id love to have both shocks(new) in my hand to get to the bottom of it once and for all
With tech II the springs are different between petrol and diesel 6 cylinders but the shocks are all the same so I don't think its the springs.

Yes but pre facelift cars could have used different coils shocks wouldn't normally lower a car unless it was a big difference its generally the spring

What i mean is visually there is little to no difference in ride height between msport 1and 2

Its not shock shaft lenght it would have been discovered a long time ago iv read countless threads on this some 20-30 pages long never a solution at the end of it iv asked bmw they have no idea and sachs say they are the same shock

The guy who made the shock was murdered in 2004 so thats a dead end
