Per my understanding, Sachs is a division of Bilstein and are the same identical shock, just at a cheaper price.... no matter what though, I would use one of those 2 brands
AFAIK, Bilstein is independent, Fitchel&Sachs was the *original* name of the company, the *other* supplier was Boge, 1st line supplier for all 1960-80s BMWs. Boge and F&S merged sometime in the Nineties and now only the Sachs name survives on the market. They were lately taken over by ZF, the transmission manufacturer.
