Suspension problem
1991 BMW 520 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Manual 150k miles

I am serving in the USAF over in germany and I have bought a 1991 520 BMW and one of the front shocks is ruined. The parts over here run about 200 euro which is about $260.00
I am trying to get parts from the states but of course the closet model in the states is a 525. So my question is are the shocks from the 525 compatable with the 520 model?

thankyou,
