Is mine adaptive sport suspension specific or would a coil spring for sport model be fine?

You need to use a BMW on line tool to identify the actual spring. I did put it on this site but the new format makes it very difficult to find again now. It is on the Forum though.

Try looking for the ‘BMW Spring Table’ on line. There are three or four different springs and which one you need depends upon the specific vehicle and its weight including options. Realoem will need the actual spring part number for your specific car - which is why it comes back with ‘no parts’. The BMW Spring Table is the only way to find which one you need.

Just edited my reply. You need the BMW Spring Table. No other way of calculating the actual spring you have and need.

BMW Spring Table. That’s what it’s called. Search for that term.

Gave Cotswold an email with chassis number

I’ve paid for a pair of coil springs suited to my car from their database £275

I asked whether mine will be different to normal sport, he looked and said yes.

Last pair in stock in the UK!

That was a good call made and the price seems about right to me..... :thumbsup:
