Front springs out of stock

Post by Redmex » Thu Jun 01, 2023 2:32 pm

I bought a pair of generic springs for the 3.0i , used the number plate and they do say they're the ones but the guy fitting them says they don't fit
I've tried BMW dealerships and no one seems to have them, no date as to when they will be in the UK
31336760622 Ive been told are the ones I need , anyone any experience with this problem? I never thought springs would cause so much grief

Thanks for looking them out but I've got a spare pair I can't use already although they do say they are for the 3.0i 2004

Might be time to get some Eibachs instead?

Your car will have Msport suspension so I'd go for Suplex springs, pick the ones that say "for cars with sports suspension". Mine were about £55 each i think.

Is it front or rear you are changing?

It's the fronts I'm changing, I see autodoc have 06248 suplex in stock but not 100% sure that's the ones I need, anyone know the Eibach code I'd need or supplier with stock ?

I bought two Suplex 06248 for my coupe a couple of years ago from a place here in Northern Ireland, think it was £60 for the pair and they're good. They're still selling them - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/361915962655

Got a full set of Suplex coming from eBay. Quite a bit cheaper than autodoc even on a 41% day.

They do an online catalogue that lets you work out their part numbers too.
