Welcome aboard!

The short and sweet version regarding suspension is that brands such as lemforder, febi, meyle and of course oem are the recommended ones to use. IMO, others such as MTC, Uro and no name ebay stuff is best be overlooked if you want to get any sort of longevity out of your parts. Theres a TON to be read on this subject and could be debated for days.....so I'd say search around a bit and make an informed decision for yourself

I'll let one of the experts take the reins from here on out regarding the shopping list for trans parts

Yes, sorry. Here, try Ericsson Industries. Maybe call them. I believe they are able to help you. You might need to provide the serial number of the tranny.

How can I find the serial without actually removing the trans? Vin maybe?

Thanks for the info, yes I'm aware of all those brands (just rebuilt my e38 front and rear with Meyle parts, tight as a virgin

I just thought maybe there's something the X guys prefer, I will look into those brands, thank you
