I got the OEM Lemforders the first time around. But since they are now made in China, I opted to get the genuine OE parts this time. Chinese ones lasted 33k miles, we'll see how the genuine parts...

I am bumping my own thread. Replacement parts lasted less than 40k miles and I'm wondering if somebody found better aftermarket parts. Foam is just not the right material for these things... What was...

Not really unless you have some trim issues, e.g. peeling off, etc, in which case you might want to replace those as well. It's one of those BMW jobs where the part costs next to nothing but the...

I replaced those two sliding covers with the help of a friend. It is not for the faint of heart, but certainly doable. My X5 does have 4-zone climate control as well as DVD for the rear...

BMW's terminology for these bump stops on an e70 is "shock absorber". Hence my usage of the term.

Otherwise, the main shock absorber on any car is the springs, and dampers are the struts.

I don't understand the hype about Victor Reinz. At some point, many e46 owners had problems with their VR VCG, including me. Not to mention, I have never come across VR as a OE supplier for gaskets....

Yes. My '09 4.8i had thrust arms that are aluminum. I replaced them with steel Lemforders, then those with aluminum again.

It looks like they forgot/neglect to replace the o-rings on the hoses when they did the oil thermostat gasket.

Excellent pictures! I would imagine the upper donut could be replaced with the wheel on the ground, but I think the main sources of the clunks are inside the strut: the other two foam bushings.

It's not the strut mounts that go bad. That dust is from the top foam bushing that goes in between the strut mount and the metal washer at the top of the strut. There is 3 such foam bushings per...

It does appear that way to me. It may also be stuck to the top of the dust sleeve, in which case it wouldn't be visible from this angle. Can you stick a finger in there and feel for anything soft?...

Left is the driver's side, correct. Yes, I'm referring to that section.

That doesn't sound like it's foam bushings, in which case you'd hear loud clunks over pot holes. Broken spring, degraded rubber inside strut mount, or degraded spring pad would be my guess.

Do you know the manufacturer for OEM airbags? Pelican.com shows three options:

1. generic "O.E.M." (not a brand)
2. Arnott
3. BMW

I'm likely to go with Arnott since it's the cheapest and they...

Have the car shipped down to TX. I'll do it for free and ship it back to you. It'll be cheaper. Seriously though, that's quite a rip-off.
