44k miles, rear drivers side gone :x hopefully will be done as a warranty repair. bottom part of the spring snapped can feel and hear it still rattling around in the bottom.
Offside rear sounds broken, not fully checked yet, only had the car 3 weeks, didn't notice it on the test drive. What are the options for replacement? Seen some threads about eibach's but I had them on a previous car (celica) and couldn't get in and out of multi-storey car parks.

Just had an MOT failure, broken rear spring. The inevitable I suppose.
2003 3.0i SMG roadster, 70k miles.
Tempted to go the Eibach route and get it lowered. Going to call Darren Wood on Thursday and get him to take a look.

Both springs are broke on my 07 3.0 Si 35000 miles. I have sports kit suspension. Bought set of springs from main dealer £200. Just fitted both this morning in 50 mins.
the Series 3 jack I bought on ebay for £20 really came into its own. It can be used to open up the gap and the spring just drops out. Very easy job. I had some pipe to put over a socket handle for leverage on the shock bolt. BMW wanted £87+ vat to fit.

06 3.0si coupe, rear spring broken, 58k miles.
Good excuse to fit those H&R's you've had lying aroundjan_tekin said:Dale_B said:Near side found this morning
Mine to, think it went monday morning on the way into work as i heard aloud bang
Luckily i have a set of H&R spring that have been sat in the garage for over six months, looks like there finally going on then.
Mine had an MOT last month and was fine, AUC warranty ran out last week too, wouldn't care I checked a few days before to make sure all was ok, typical really
Investigated a 'tinkling noise' to the left rear (evident when I drive over bumps) today and discovered a broken spring. 29,500 miles. Any advice on best buy replacements (make, source, etc.)? (not interested in lowering).
I read the 'how-to' thread on replacing, so will have a go at this when I get replacements.

That last picture is identical to my broken rear spring. What is the best choice to replace them with on a 2l sport?
Thanks
