Hi guys, had my tyres replaced the today and I spotted one of my rear springs is snapped :(

I'm not looking to lower the car, so does anyone have a set of OEM springs or after market ones which don't lower?

Thanks
 
does yours have the m sport suspension if it does i'm looking for a spring,so if someone has a pair we could split it
 
I would advise just biting the bullet and buying a new pair of OEM springs, as used springs could just give you the same problems a few months down the line. BMW's are notorious for breaking rear springs so why not give yourself piece of mind with a shiny new pair?

On my car BMW would only replace one at a time under warranty and they ended up breaking within 3000 miles of each other, therefore your other rear spring is probably on its way out as well.
 
Having a look back through my history it seems the offside spring was already replaced last year. So it looks like they didn't do the pair!

I was looking to buy a pair together.

I have pre facelift M sport springs i don't know if one or a pair would be any good to you?

I'm busy looking for part number but they seem very evasive. I'm not sure if they'll be correct being pre-facelift but I'll let you know as soon as I find out.

Do you know how old they are and how many miles (approximately). Are they from a sport or an SE?

Thanks :thumbsup:

They are from a 2006 E86 Sport Coupe. I took them off at 31k kms (20k miles). I have the set of 4 if you can make use of them. If I remember correctly I think postage for four springs from the UK was around 15 or 20 pounds with a courier.
We have a local Z4 community but there seems to be no history of the broken spring problem, maybe because they are not used in winter.
