///M Rear Springs Location?

[jamjia]

Hi everyone,

Had the car on a ramp today as the front wheels needed balancing. Took this opportunity and snapped a few pics of the rear suspension. Noticed that the springs are not visible and only the damper was there (please see pics attached). I'm new to the Z4 ownership club so wondered if anyone knew where the rear springs should be?

Thanks,
J

I don't have an ///M, but I am pretty sure they should be round the shocks in your pics :?

Is it possible to drive without rear springs ?

 

[Bing]

Actually, had a poke on the web and I am possibly talking sh1t - I think they are hidden by your wheels ?

Don't panic the springs are on the rear wish bones!! Take the wheel off and you will see them. Just trust me if that's the back there is no problem all is well with your car

I knew I was talking sh1t. Time for bed :yawn:

Thanks gents. I figured as much. Very similar to other cars I've had but just wasn't sure.

The Z4m rear shock is an inverted damper.

Never mind the missing springs, did you know your car was upside down

Might I suggest that perhaps it is you Sir that is upside down rather than my car being wrongly orientated?

I'm in the UK, just like you, so we're both the same way up.

Although I have been told I have an 'alternative' viewpoint on most things
