but reading these posts makes me think otherwise?? i might consider getting new shocks on my car soon

Oh you can run the original shocks 200k-300k miles. They won't cause the car to be unsafe to drive for a very long time, in that case you can use the bounce test. But ride quality will have started to go down hill dramaticaly after about 100k miles, but most people either don't notice or care. Since you guys seem to be talking about the newer cars, the PO on my friends W210 had all four done at just over 100k miles.
