That's not a bad price - trouble was I had the car booked in for Saturday and wanted it done - so I got them from Sopers - discounted price & no postage so the best UK deal I could find. Fitted for £70 on top. it makes a noticeable improvement though, having new and complete springs
Just having a really bad day ... Both rear springs have failed, not too bothered as I've just done 98K in the Zed so I consider myself lucky with the spring issue but I only found out that they snapped due to my waterpump failing. I thought the waterpump would be relativley in- expensive to fix and probably costing more in labour than the part.
Ohhh no, I was basing my thought process on the replacement waterpump I replaced in my 330 I owned preveously, It cost £44.
To my horror the water pump for the Z4M cost's £465 from BMW and its a recon part........ So having to replace the rear springs at the same time is a bit of a shocker
and the cost of the springs are £88 each + VAT ... :headbang:
Off to pub for a drink now ...

I Might come to somebodies rescue here.
I have a fully working complete suspension settup for a BMW Z4 E85 going spare due to me installing coilovers...
I haven't thought about selling them yet because i'm lazy. They're up for grabs for the right offer. I probably wont check this thread again so message me if you need a whole set. Would have to be a good offer to split it though as i'd like to sell the entire suspension set up.
It's the shocks... 4x springs, and helper shocks too including both top and bottom spring plates.

BMW Z4 Coupe 3.0si 2008
39.5k
Both rear springs snapped (had the car checked at 35k and again at 37.5k)
Took it as an opportunity to replace the whole lot with Eibach Pro Kit.
Get it back tomorrow, will post pics. Haven't done anything to out of the ordinary, 19" Satin Black CSL's and should be a 15mm drop over the sports springs that were on.

Mine were replaced under the Insured/Extended Warranty, so I'd certainly expect that they would also be covered under the AUC or New Car warranties.Rusky said:
My dealer (Partridge Hampshire BMW) replaces both springs on an ///M, but only the broken spring on a non-M. Other people have had different experiences at different dealers.
Yep mine broke at 26000 miles 2007 model 2.0l
