Hi

Just need to pick your collective brains on this one.

A few years back I had to change the rear springs on my 04 Sport Saloon to pass the MOT, however the only springs I could get at short notice were heavy duty ones which mean the car now sits too high at the back.

I'm considering changing the rear springs again to get it sitting right and ideally want to use genuine BMW springs so if I can't find a set of exact replacement springs could I, for example, use coupe rear springs instead?

I don't want to go to the expense of a full set of lowered springs as I'm hoping to change the car next year so any advice would welcome.

Thanks

      Transfer Case

      Morning Darren I brought mine a few years ago (2009 if I recall) through Ebay. Make the checks mine was from a UK seller with good feed back who also offered back up. Before that I used BMW 1.4.0 (still have it on the same laptop) Where ever you buy just make the normal sensible checks to make sure you will have support if needed Dave

      Transfer Case

      Morning Darren The obvious one is BMW ISTA/INPA not the cheapest but by far the most comprehensive and gives Dealer level access. Require a little patience to master but well worth it (my opinion) Then there are systems by Autologic, iCarsoft, Bimmerlink and Foxwell, all work well but are not as comprehensive as ISTA/INPA (mine has WIS and TIS). There are also a few systems which are Subscription led such as Carly Personally if I have tools I want to own them not rent them so I prefer to buy the complete package (on an old laptop that lives in my garage I have Diagnostics programs for Volvo, Merc, VW, and BMW. Plus an Autologic scanner and a BMW iCarsoft scanner (I am a born tinkerer and a boy needs toys) One diagnostic session at a Dealer will probably cost close to £200 plus any remedial work they can recommend?? So owning your own which will allow adaptions, registration and reprogramming work to be carried out will save £££ in the long run. Good Luck Dave
