4.8iS front air suspension

Post by rjkc600 » Tue Jul 09, 2013 6:10 pm

Guys,

My mate just bought a 4.8is, but the front offside airbag has just split.

We found replacements at euro car parts, but 1 with sports suspension and 1 without, which one do i need?  Price is quite different.

Can anyone help me with this?

:)

Hi
4.8is has sports suspension.
Delphi also do replacement front struts and are good quality , I fitted one on my mates 3.0d with front and rear air suspension was very impressed with the quality and was very keenly priced so he said .
Try googling Delphi .

thanks guys, he has had it replaced by a local bmw specialist in the end with a brand new one, yeah i think it was Delphi too.

The other side is almost gone too, so he'll be back next month for a second.

Cheers for all the help.
