Can anyone spot anything wrong with this? This is my left (driver) rear side and this corner seems to squat down when I make quick right hand turns. It's pretty spongey and almost seems like a tire is flat. On Sunday I even pulled over to check my rear tire because I thought something was wrong.

It should not be sitting on bump stop? Is that a static shot?
Shock is toast?

I jacked up the rear end to take a look at the shock and snapped this picture. I sent this picture to Terra and he said that he thinks my shock mount is destroyed and that the bump stop shouldn't be that high. I have no idea what a normal one looks like so I have zero knowledge on this. I'm assuming my shock is done for.Originally Posted by danewilson77
I see fluid all over the dust sleeve...

Dead shock.
That's what I noticed as well. Agh, time for new suspension.
Votes? H&R Sport Cup?

I absolutely love my H&R Cup Kit with the race springs, so either Sport or Touring would get my vote.

Yesterday, I almost took a crowbar to the windshield but decided instead to rip through the gears to relieve some frustration and try to convince myself that this car may be worth keeping. After spending $2000 a little over a month ago on A/C repairs, my A/C is behaving like it is low on refrigerant again, blowing warm air out of the passenger side vents. I'll call the shop that did the work in a bit, but right now I'm really let down that BMW can't build A/C systems that are reliable. Or maybe my 0/3 track record when it comes to BMW and A/C is a sign from God that I should buy a Ford.
I've heard nothing but good things about them. I'd get the race springs.. but I wouldn't be able to fit in my driveway..lol. So I'll be going the Sport route.

My opinion only Ford would not be my choice for replacing the Ultimate Driving Machine.
