Bilsteins RC settings are normally just that: one damping (reacts to speed) setting is tougher that stock and one is more relaxed; Note that this is different from spring (reacts to compression) rates. Both E82 and E9XM Bilstein RC versions are available.

The length of their shocks together including the variable height threading on the shock tube is a minimal couple of centimeters/ an ~inch shorter than stock. Not sure if the Bilstein RC springs are shorter (~stiffer) than stock.

So far no geometric / part info on the 1M shocks. Most likely they came from the E9XM (or else E82), any evidence on this welcomed. [ Rear shock label pictures from BMW Welt please?!? ]
