The reason I ask is because we just had Tony's Mom's car in here for the same thing. Deal is she carries a ton of paperwork and brochures in the trunk of her car loading down the back quite a bit.

Oh - and the car was a 325xi, and the springs were stock.

Nothing in the trunk (no subwoofers or anything) and only on a couple of occasions have I even had somebody in the back of the car.

That's one rusted out coil! Is it possible you drove your car in the ocean and forgot about it?

Laffo @ the springs. That's absolutely terrible. While they are out of "warranty" I cannot imagine a situation where this would be acceptable at any age within 5 years.

Wow, that sucks really bad man. You would think that after all these years of people making springs we would have this down. Sad.
