Apparently the 2007 BMW X3 3.0SI Sports Package model requires different springs than the standard model, and in some cases the panoramic sun-roof plays a role of some kind in the selection for some spring brands (not sure why?).
Does anyone have any suggestions on what spring brand/product may work for this situation and car model (here's last 7 of VIN if that helps: WF01052)?
I noticed Eibach sells a pro-kit spring set that requires that I buy and then replace all four, but is only $250, but lowers the car too, which I don't necessarily want to do, and then again not sure if it's going to fit... need to confirm with the company on that. Has anyone installed this on their X3?
Thanks for any help/suggestions.

How did you know you had a broken spring? what were the symptoms?
