The trick is finding Bilstein HDs for an '02....unless things have changed very recently, they've been back-ordered for a couple of years...

I spoke with them about a month ago.  They're hoping for August but before that, they were hoping for April.  So who really knows?  I'm rebuilding my suspension and did the rear end this past winter - still waiting on Billy HD front strut inserts.

Bilstein HD (B6)= Old# (F4-P30-0023-H0)  New#(34-000236)  163/76 Parameter
Bilstein HD (B6)= Old#(F4-B46-0803-H2), New# (24-008037) B6  121/57 Parameter
Bilstein Sport front (B8) = Old#(F4-P30-0025-H0)  New#(34-000250)  200/85 Parameter

Bilstein Sport rear (B8)  = Old# (F4-B46-0118-H1), New# (24-001182)  200/60 Parameter

 

Understanding Bilstein Valve Ratings
Damping forces for Bilstein valving is measured in Newtons at a velocity of 0.52 meters/seconds (approximately 20 inches/second). The ratings shown correspond to those measurements; rebound force is the first number, followed by compression force (rebound / compression). Conventionally, the ratings are written as one tenth the damping force in Newtons.
EXAMPLE: Valve rating: 163 / 76 (HD Fronts)
Rebound force is 1630 Newtons at 0.52 m/s
Compression force is 760 Newtons at 0.52 m/s
Higher numbers mean higher (firmer) damping forces. For example, 200/85 (Sport Fronts) has more control and is firmer than 163/76 (HD Fronts), which has less control and is softer.

 

The Struts/shocks from W&N appear to be the firmer Sport (B8) version based on the photo for the rear. There is no clear photo of the part number for the front but I suspect it is probably the Sport (B8) version as well.

Check your front top strut bearings, if in doubt....The shocks will come with new bushings, but check the rest for age and play. You didn't mention springs, but saggy springs with new shocks are not a great combo.

Good to know, I would ask Walloth for sure.  I bought e9 struts and shocks last summer and although listed as Sports they were B6, Carl Nelson alerted me to them. Now called Performance and Performance Plus I see.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
