Bilstein B6 rear shocks - help with part nos and source?

[d3matt]

I've gone to replace my rear shocks top mounts, only to find the shocks are knackered and don't rise at all - both original, hence 13.5 years old.

I'm desperately trying to find somewhere where I can get Bilstein B6 shocks delivered tomorrow, but I'm finding websites and eBay ads are quoting different part numbers. Mine is a 2003 3.0i with M-Sport suspension.
Anyone know the correct part number and a place in the UK that might hold stock?

Even the Bilstein site lists three models....

I guess I'm going for the 24-104906 model.
The cheapest I can find in the UK is Larkspeed at £124 each inc shipping. They are listing on eBay and on their website.
The cheapest I can in EU is https://www.fahrwerke-stossdaempfer...-e85-roadster-e86-coupe-bilstein-b6-rear.html but its going to take a few days. Guess its worth putting car back together and waiting for the £50 saving.

Of the three you listed its 24-104906 you will want.
If possible I'd recommend changing all four especially if the fronts are original too, the difference is enormous!

One of the differences between the three is the "Type Shock Absorber", mono being the sportier option and twin being what comes on the car.

I've ordered 2 x B6 mono rear shocks 24-104906 from https://www.fahrwerke-stossdaempfer.de/index.php?language=en. 235.30 euro delivered to the UK. Yet to see the card conversion rate, but should be £46 cheaper than cheapest UK price.

I'm pretty sure both my front shocks have been replaced at some point by the previous owners, has both have failed past MoTs. I will check them out next though.

Strangely my car has just past an MoT, yet these rear shocks are doing nothing. I guess if they aren't leaking and the rear springs have such short travel, they can't tell.
