Front near side spring broke after coming back from a two week holiday. It ate the tyre but now awaiting for parts as I am replacing everything apart from the 37mm washer!

2004 E85 2.2 Just had both rears replaced, mot failure on drivers side. Last done 2009 judging by the mot history. More potholes than tarmac around here

Sorry if just a bit off-topic. I've only had my Z4 for 11 months, and was concerned enough that I replaced all four springs with Lesjofors.
What I found when I did the replacement confirmed my choice. I found that both rear springs had worn through the powder coat in the 'pig tail' and were beginning to rust - on my previous 325xi that meant breakage was coming soon. In the front, on the side where one front strut had been replaced, I found that the tech indexed the spring improperly on the strut's lower seat - the spring had been binding and worn off the powder coating. Now I'm just enjoying the drive and hoping those Lesjofors springs outlast the originals.
PS - Lesjofors sells both Sport and non-Sport springs. The rears are 'barreled', but the ends are not tapered.

Drivers side spring gone, both rears being replaced Thursday. 105k miles, 16 years old. Not bad tbh.

Yep, both rears at some point between 105 and 110k. Quite simple to swap out.

Not quite made the Broken Springs Club but...... corrosion advisory on MOT so getting them done. On the Suplex catalogue it lists rears as 'with options'. Am I right in thinking this is sport suspension?
