Product Overview
The electrically controlled front dampers vary their damping behavior according to the factory suspension system.
Leaking or non-functioning electronic shocks can affect handling or cause suspension warnings. F45, conventional FE1/FE3 and later F55 setups use different hardware.
Verify the F45 RPO code and shock electrical connectors. These are not a guaranteed replacement for conventional FE1/Z51 shocks or 2003–2004 F55 magnetic shocks.

No. Unless the product listing explicitly states otherwise, this is an aftermarket replacement. The manufacturer names and OE references identify applicable equipment, not the maker of this item.
