Hunter said:Replaced mine today with a set of Eibachs, both the rears where broke into three pieces....New Eibachs all round and fitted for £200
Bloody hell, that's good... labour on mine was £124 by itself. Maybe we need to get a list of garages that will do fixed price spring swaps on the zed

Ok, then it was my Zed to experience broken spring. Behind at the car right hand side. Looked corroded at the broken surface. 72000 km.
Will probably change both springs myself. Just need to find a replacement with better quality than the OEM's.....

Rear offside broken - 46000 miles.
Replaced 2 rears with BMW originals - 209 quid fitted. Took 40 mins.

The rears went on my zed too, hence the switch to Eibachs. At around 60k miles. I also recently had to replace a pair of rears on my E60. They were sport spec and specific to just one model.... Local dealer tried telling me that the part was 'supply & fit only'. When I reminded them that the spring had cracked in two and that half was no longer on the car they told me they would be more than happy to pick the car up from my house. For an additional price, of course! The quote was horrific.... :thumbsdown:
My better half had to replace a pair of fronts recently on a 50k mile Renault and my in-laws a full set (springs and shocks) on a 40k mile CLK. The roads round our way are appalling.....
Stop me now as I can feel a rant coming on :x

Both rear springs were replaced on my 3 series compact at 91k. Just over 10 years old.

yes me 2, broken rear springs, i always thought the ride was kinda hard even for a sportscar, at the anual APK ( dutch MOT but much hard rules) last year.
it seams that the springs from BMW are mostly not strong enough not even on the M undercarige witch is fitted on my car. i hear it more often also with 3 serie's owners.

rear passenger side on a 2004 with 53k!Hi,
I was just checking my rear brake pads, and noticed both rear spring are broken...and looks like they've been like that for a while, that's why it wasn't handling very well around corners !!
Can anyone recommend a place to buy ? lots on ebay at varying prices , don't want anything special, just springs that aren't broken
