On my E430 the bounce test didn't "work". After pressing down on each corner, the car came to a rest as it should have, but when I replaced the shocks, they were completely shot. You could easily push the shocks in and out by hand, whereas if you take a brand new shock, it takes all of your body weight to compress it when pushing it against the ground.
