Would the same rule apply from a Non-EDC strut/shock apply to a EDC version strut/shock when it comes to periodic maint of the strut/shocks?
Typically, 30-40K is about the life of a regular OEM strut/shock...imo

I don't know what car you're driving but 30-40k for a shock is ridiculous lol

I hope that you understood that I meant mileage of about 40K...not price.

I don't think so.. at least last you out of the 50k mile warranty period.. I have seen 07 m5 will EDC stock shock last about 75k..so I don't think m3 is going to be that much of a difference.

i would say it should last at least 50 to 60k, if not even more.

30 to 40k seems really low. you might get that kind of premature wear if you do a lot of driving on rough roads i guess.

That's what I want to hear, and then might as well get coilovers when they do go.... It's all going according to plan
