Looking for a set of stock rear springs for an '04 330Ci with sport suspension - hoping somebody may have upgraded or changed their setup and have a set laying around.

Background story: the car sits noticeably lower on the left rear than it does right rear. I've checked, no broken springs. But, as I've mentioned before, this car has a spotty maintenance history, including some accident damage. My theory is that somebody replace one of the springs with one that doesn't match. Since I'm not sure which, if either, is original, I'd like to find a pair of OEM springs and replace both. Not looking to lower the car.

Just a long shot, but hoping someone in the family is sitting on a set they don't need!

Bump. Really - nobody out there has a set of rear springs laying around? I'm shocked...I figured SOMEBODY must have gone to coilovers and saved their springs! Still looking!!

Just seeing this. I have a set in my basement. 04 sedan, same fitment however. Both in great condition with 160k miles on them. But they are not rusted or broken.

Let me send you some pictures tomorrow. You should invest in some new rear shocks if they are also worn out.

Thanks Justin, will await an update! I installed a set of Koni Sports in the spring, so all set there!

Thanks Justin - don't have a problem with your offer, but I do have a question: my 330Ci is not a ZHP. My understanding is that the ZHPs used a different spring/spring rate. You says it's the same fitment, and if it's only the spring rate that's different I'd be good with that and would probably prefer it, in fact. The only thing I don't want to do is lower the car, so if you're confident that your springs will have a ride-height equivalent to the originals, I'm in! Again, thanks much!

It shouldn't be any lower than a stock sport package. There are claims of being 0.6" lower and having some kind of different shock jounce value. It's all semantics at this point ten years past the build date.

Just PM me where to ship it and I will calculate the value for ya.

Agreed...but as noted, I really don't want the car any lower (and don't think it will be with your springs!) PM forthcoming...

Good deal.
