Are my struts stock?

[mbogosia]

I don't have any recipts showing suspension was done on my 95 w/165k miles and I noticed my struts in the rear are blue. They say BMW on them though. The suspension works great, so it almost has to have been replaced with that kind of mileage. Are these blue struts the ones that come with it?

i've seen the orignal rear shocks go 200k miles and still feel decent, the fronts usually crap from 120 to 160k miles but if the housings are oily they are done

I believe that those are stock. Shocks on my dads 91 are blue and it's only at 100k miles, so I'm pretty sure they were not replaced.

On my car -- at 170k, rears are still good (don't know if someone replaced them), but I did have to replace the fronts after one leaked out (that was a stiff right side for a couple days lol)

Mine were blue too, unless somebody upgraded them.

Chances of so many people upgrading shocks to some blue ones that don't lower the car or anything are almost non existant.
