Default Can OEM Shocks be rebuilt?

I'm running on my 2nd set of OEM shocks, front and rear. I'm getting to the end of the 2nd set now and I'm curious if the OEM shocks can be rebuilt. I'm not looking to spend a couple grand on new shocks so a rebuild would be ideal.

Default if you could get the parts, yes.

My understanding is that if you could get the parts for the OEM shock it could be rebuilt but that BMW will not allow the parts into circulation. Wilburs or Ohlins are rebuildable.
