Hi all, the compact failed the NCT on a snapped rear spring, so need to sort it next week for the retest.
The OE part number I need is 33531095710 but they're €140 odd each, which isn't an option.
When searching it looks like the springs are the same as found on a 318ci?
This is when I search on the likes of MicksGarage etc
Can anyone confirm I can go ahead and order these? Bear in mind it's a 318ti Sport I have so needs to match m sport springs.
Hi Don, were you able to cross reference part #'s with the likes of bmwfans.info?
Part number shows no results on realoem

The options for the cars effect the spring choice, you won't be able to likely cross refernce the springs on realOEM.Quote:

It has an option to search a part number without selecting any car?Quote:

It would usually give you a list of cars that the part is fitted to
Yeah my point too, what I was implying is that maybe the part number is incorrect? :smiling: Should be easy enough to get the correct one by searching the car OP.Quote:

There's no springs part number in realoem when you search for a 2004 318ti
BMWMiniParts just came back to me with a quote of £84 ex vat each. The part number is definitely right according to the spring table
PM hobbs on here he has recently picked up some uprated springs for his 3 series and may be able to tell you where to find similar for a better price
Will send a PM now thanks.
Just typed the part number into Google and it came up on BMW FANS so it's definitely a correct part number
Got a quote back from the dealer, came in at €298 for a pair with discount, so that's not a route anyone would go I'd have thought.
As far as I can tell, the springs are the same as ones for a 318i or 318ci sport.
With that in mind, would anyone have a single rear spring from an m sport 316/318?
Would you not be better off to go down the Eibach route?
I'd prefer that definitely, but need to keep it at standard height.
Anyway, after digging around I've ordered a pair from MicksGarage for about €55 a piece..will see how they work out
All sorted, for anyone else looking, correct aftermarket replacement springs are KYB RX6792
