Back on the list again 
Replaced both rears in June 2013 with parts from Sopers, one has broken again. Never really considered these as consumable parts with other cars
Any recomendations beyond Sopers?
Part no is 33507836827 IIRC

Myself and others have fitted Suplex springs- these are good quality german made spings that are available in SE or M sport equivalent.chrissrush wrote:Back on the list again

Here's mine...
2006
Z4MC
54000 miles
OSR/NSR both.
Just the same as my previous 2003 E46 M3. Seems to be a common BMW theme.

Mine went a couple of weeks ago.
2003, E83, 83k miles.
By the clunks and the clean broken ends they seem to both have gone at the same time.

Z4 2.5 2003 117,000 miles
Yup had one replaced in Feb last year... other was done last week (March 2017)
Didn't know at the time it's best to get em both done together.
With the mileage on my car it's prob not the first replacement either

well my other broke at 59k - one looked to be replaced but I can't see it in the receipts so heck knows when.
did it my self, wasn't too difficult at all! very do-able if you jam the breaker bar between the arm and caliper and carefully push down.
replaced both sides as the other was a bit rusty too so only a matter of time, I'm assuming it doesn't matter what brand they springs are they will still snap ?
