31 00... Information on replacing shock absorbers: Procedure

If one shock absorber is damaged, it is only necessary to replace both shock absorbers when the car has driven in excess of 80 000 km.

Exception:  On all M-models, when a limit value is exceeded on one side, it is still necessary always to replace both shock absorbers on the relevant axle.
