    Rusting shocks on 04 z4 2.5?

    I looked at my shocks today and it looks like they're rusting...has anyone seen this before? Do I need to replace them urgently?

    The car only has 72k miles, 30 of which were put on in the past 2 years by me driving it more. It's only ever lived in California.

    I looks like a dirty bump stop. If it is then its nothing to worry about. Get the wheel off and have a really good look.

    There is only one thing more pleasurable than working on a Z3, that's driving it top down on a fine day.
