I have decided to replace the OEM shocks (not Biltstein) on my 2003 W20 chassis with Konis.
According to the Koni web site the fronts are PN 8805 1001 and the rear are 8805 1003. The pictures shown match the actual mounting on the existing shocks.

I can look up the torque requirements in the Service manual CD (assuming I can find the info) but I wonder if the torque is the same for the Konis as for the OEM shocks?

I found what seems to be a good price with free shipping on the internet but will call Mike at Brazels Monday for a price since I would prefer to do business with him.

Thanks!
Okay I will pull out the CD and see if I can find it.
I think I would rather have the hard copy service manual since I seem to be able to find stuff easier that way but I am way too cheap to pay for the hard copy.
