Thanks to Alex, I've found an error in the original color code assignment - the green/green code is part number 095 712 and NOT 095 713. The error came from my interpretation of the options on the spring table - I had guessed that HK option on US spec cars came bundled with the Hi-Fi speaker option. Instead, it appears that the HK option includes speakers and the Hi-Fi speaker option is an entirely seperate option for non-HK cars.

Attached are two versions fo the spring table results which may clarify the gibberish.

And many, many thanks to Alex for discovering the error!

E46 coil springs-more info

I have an 02 325Xi 5 speed only with sunroof (paint & wood trim also). I have a broken rear spring. I don't know the colour code (its frecking freezing here) but two different sources tell me the PN for new springs is 33 53 6 756 976 which seems to be same PN as 325i ET37 10/01 on Auto std fold HK. My car is a US spec car.

well looks like this hasen't been hashed up in a while, but i'll throw my hat in cause mine sits uneven in the rear. i checked the springs for cracks- none.
i just recently got into a 2000 323i touring w/ sport package, auto, HK audio w/ hi-fi.
i've only checked the rears, but they are white/white..
all the other wht/wht i've seen have been conv. w/ sport pkg??
hmm

 

[kamaqazi]

JPR...I just picked up the 01- 330ci suspension from a great guy in Boston. The front springs have 1 white and 1 red. The rear springs have 3 blue stripes.

Explain to me how to measure what you need and I'll take care of it. When I take the old stuff off, I will post again.

Anyone want to buy used 328i sports package struts/springs and shocks? only a mere 115,000 miles on them..ha ha.

i have some aswell but with 60k on them

Further to my note above, 2002 325Xi, manual, sunroof only option. Color code = single green stripe.

I might add that my car is a manual.

[Be.M.w.e46]

what colour front springs would a 2003 325 m sport be, its a different version to the 325ci. thats and english version, and it sits 15mm lower that the early ci's with sport suspension.

 

[MH278]

Another data point from my broken coils - 2001 325 xi wagon, manual - rear springs are white/white.

Looking for replacements, oem height - any offers? Thanks.

[kylek325i]

Great thread!! I have a 2003 325xi, manual, ZPP, ZSP, no ski bag or folding seats, full size spare...Front 1 orange stripe and rear 1 green stripe. Both rears are broken...WTF BMW.

 

[Grezzo]

Not sure what this is useful for really, but I thought I'd contribute:

2004 (Facelift) 325ci Sport Convertible. Not sure about the fronts, but just had to replace snapped rears from the dealer. Two pink stripes:

I was told by the dealer that they are 226 which I believe means Sport, not MSport (even though I have "M"s all over my car).

 

[juanmurillo]

My front ones have 3 green lines. What model is this?

 

[yezzsir]

03 / 00 323i, manual, standard package, front red/red/red!!
