Had I not just recently installed a set of the older style "Twin-tube" Bilsteins on my 145 I probably would have gotten them. I'm almost positive they'd fit. 145's have slightly heavier springs than the sedans, but I don't think enough to warrant a different shock. That's as cheap as I've ever seen. Shipping can't be too much more than $25.

As it is for me, the older style is pretty soft, and gives a really smooth ride. They are also about $35 each (far less). I have an IPD front sway bar ONLY and it's still a bit rolly in the turns, but I'm not into cornering anyhow. Everyone sings the praises of these monotube shocks from a performance standpoint.
