Pretty sure 2009 - 2013 shocks are fine for length. Definitely not the 2015 and electronic assist ones. Don't pay too much - they're decent, but the first thing a track dayer does is get rid of the shock - they need money spent on them to work well, lack of rebound damping in particular. Better than our old units though.

 There are some e- blag sellers taking the P with their prices, £500 for a several thousand miler !!!  A decent after market Nitron/Maxton/Wilbers/WP etc is far better around that price. You can get units for not too much from the Continental sellers normally.

Exactly as Rene says - the BMW shock is pretty good, but a purpose built Nitron etc will have the correct working stroke length, correct spring, correct length and more care will probably have been taken over it's construction -  if you can , it'll be best.
