Being good to my X3...

This snapped spring issue seems to occur often with the e46. It occurs often enough that my service guy down at the BMW dealership was not surprised at all. Also it seems that folks that have an xdrive system tend to not lower their cars when this sort of thing happens. They either go OEM for replacement springs or, aftermarket OEM equivalent.


At least for me the timing was pretty good. I recently did the fix vs. trade in calculation and decided to "fix" whatever needed fixing.

So I've gone ahead and ordered some Suplex OEM Heavy Duty rear springs. Internet has had no complaints about them.....

I'll be sure to take some pics and post...
