M sport coil springs
Hi, I have a broken front coil spring on my 2008 530d E61 M sport. I've went on real OEM site but they are not listed , does anybody know where I would find such a thing? the BMW dealers are all closed in the UK and I don't want to buy an aftermarket spring in case its the wrong one. Thanks Paneuro.

Hi Sean, I have the spring removed and note it has 2 orange dots and 1 grey/blue dot. Can you advise me where you got the part number and is it a BMW part number? I have since looked on the Eibach site but I was to late to phone them. All the main BMW dealers are closed so can't get nothing from them until Monday. I would like to get the right one as I don't want to be driving down the road with a high side and a low side. thanks Paneuro

Yes it is a BMW part #. I got it off a U.K. part site. The one I got it off showed all OEM parts also that matched

Hi Sean, I found a site on Ebay which listed the springs with that part number and they claim they are OEM but there is no manufacturers name! would that be the site you found? Euro car parts have what they say are the correct springs made by Sachs, but they are a different part number (31336768809) and they are only five miles away but because of the corona virus they won't supply unless I'm a key worker so I'm a bit stuffed at the moment! If I was able to pick them up I would take the broken one with me and do a comparison. I will let you know. Thanks Paneuro

Hi Sean, no response from Autodoc so I got in touch by live chat, They said they had not received my email but I have already had 2 emails from them after I sent them my enquiry. I asked for the phone number and they gave me one that didn't work, got on again and they gave me the same number so I gave up at that. I don't like the way they operate and would not like to try and return something to them for a refund. thanks Paneuro.

I would not do business with them also. If you google that part number there are several companies in the UK that sales them
