Finding the right spring for F25

Hello,

The rear left spring decided to sabotage itself and now I need a new one. Although there's a problem, I'm not sure how do I find the right one? The car is base spec, doesn't have any electronic, sport dampers as far as I know, basically no m sport. Also need dust guards for the shock. Where are the X3 gods that could help?

Can't seem to find a spring here, only full shock absorbers and small parts

Found the spring, but it's an OEM one and has a hefty price tag. Going to find an aftermarket one that meets the OEM spec.

Here's the part number (not for electronic or sport dampers) - 33 53 6 787 202

Do not start looking for a new one until you know which one you need. BMW does not have a clear way to determine what springs came with your car. There should be some paint stripes in different colors and amounts on the spring. Also, some factory springs have hardened tags displaying info on the part itself. Some of them have these codes such as the one here.




I don't think the rears are as important as the front when it comes to matching parts since the rear weight does not deviate as much as the front...
