Hi all,

Hope you're well and Happy New Year.

Anyone know where I can find part number for rear suspension springs for 2013 640d Gran Coupe?

Checked a few sites and unless I'm missing it, they provide numbers for everything around it, but not the actual spring?

Any hints on where to buy? Or for DIY instructions? As heard the parcel shelf gets in the way.

Just had one break off the last half coil, right on the bottom, so it's sitting a bit lower on that side 🤣

Thanks all

just replaced a rear spring on my 640d coupe. The only place I could source a spring was via BMW. On the coupe it is a doddle to fit as the rear top mount is accessed from inside the boot and no need to remove the parcel shelf. The mounting is quite a bit lower than the parcel shelf so hopefully yours will be as simple. Took less than an hour start to finish Although I did have access to a lift and spring compressor.
cheers
Jim

Thanks Jim, will give BMW a call today and see how many body parts they want 😂

Hope the GC is as easy, struggling for time and could do without the extra hassles of needing to remove shelf etc! Fingers crossed.

So 2 rear springs ordered, from BMW, £245 😬 should be ready to collect in 2 to 3 days, so might get to try and fit on the weekend, albeit it's the wife's birthday so perhaps not...
