I purchased some springs which were supposed to be aftermarket for the 320i but they are not identified correctly online. The springs they send are only 1" in length, what is needed are 2 1/2" in length.
If anyone knows of springs from another vehicle like a Mini Couper or VW, Audi, basically any that will work. I am down to one old spring, which I imagine is not going to last much longer.
Thanks
Maybe just try an auto store. My local auto store actually has a great selection of springs in the "help" section. Packs of different sizes(return springs, gas pedal etc) and packs of "brake springs" which are used on the brake pedal assembly. Some require slight cut to length trimming the ends and re-bend to exact fit. I keep a bag assorted of these for the spares in the track box.
