Hi from Finland,
I have a 1988 L6 with a levelling device, and it seems that coil spring 33531134195 is impossible to buy, even itīs not stated as "Delivery discontinued by the factory".

37121126652 is still available which has been used with Euro versions, but itīs lighter (4.8 lb) than -195 (5.2 lb).
http://bmwfans.info/parts-catalog/E2...e_2/#1126652_4
Does anybody knows if -652 can hold L6īs heavier back with itīs additional AC?
-195 has also information: "For vehicles with national version Australia", but maybe it is because same rear AC as US L6?

You should create a WTB...want to buy thread. Most have removed these systems so there are a bunch sitting around I bet. In fact someone gave away the entire system for an M6 a while back.
Also, not sure who made these but MB used the same system so perhaps you can find a MB equivalent.
Also you reference holding the weight of an L6.....the springs are for that and do differ for L6's weight. I would try to find the damping rates of both shocks, that's what you need to compare.
Finally, for the price of the shock, you can almost pay for a setup to eliminate the SLS system. I drained all the pump oil and disconnected the electrical connection to the sensor/arm and capped off the lines to the shocks and replaced with Bilsteins and BMW springs. The system is all there if a purist wanted to re-install it.
Good Luck

If all else fails, it is often possible to purchase custom wound suspension springs from any number of online retailers.

Thank you Sir for the good answers!
I`ll try to find that information somehow, but before than that, I think it's easier to make water to wine..
I would like to keep the system as it is, and yes, Iīm the purist!
Selling the car on year 2525 would be harsh if you have tampered the system.
