Not sure if they are BMW ones or not but look a bit darker than those. If you can find a back issue of BMW Magazine from about 1.5 years ago, they are on their staff car



I'll try and find a picture.

They look cheap

Is it like the Corsa set up Robin, with a McPherson strut on the front but separate spring and shock on the rear? I thought it would be independent all round

So independent all round, but a separate spring and shock on each rear corner? I'm just confused by the picture about, with a separate yellow Bilstein damper in it.
