Just had the zed in for new springs I could have replaced them myself but the car was under warranty so I took it in to my local inde to do the job, I explained to them the car was fitted with a bmw sport pack which ment the car was lower than a standard set up
when I saw the car I was in shock the rear end was up in the air with enough gap between the rear arch and the wheel to get four fingers between , as you can imagine I was not impresed I had a chat to the garage owner and he said that the warranty company would not let him use genuine bmw parts and they would have to come from a factors , if any one has looked at the ECP web site where the springs came from , all the z4 models are coverd by the same part number , I drove the car home and quiet frankly it handeld like a pig the garage has aggreed to swap the springs over if I can find somone to suply sport pack springs ,
I did this the springs are suplex part no 06231 and came from a company called Anderw Page ltd in leeds next day inc Vat £128 tel 0113 3970200 , anyway the new springs turned up friday and to save booking the car in taking it to the garage for a second time and then having to go back and pick it up draging the wife in and out for lifts , I just changed things myself it only took me an hour now the car is sitting as it should , I am returning the ECP springs to the garage so they can be sent back I have rung them and they are going to pay me for the suplex ones .
