    I need to replace a broken coil spring on a 520d M Sport. Having checked I know there are different part numbers for a standard vs an M Sport suspension.

    The problem is that the VIN decoders (e.g. http://bimmer.work/vin) list the M Sport Package but doesn't explicitly reference the type of suspension? Any other way to know for sure??

    UPDATED: Actually EDC (which the car has) means standard suspension (no M-Sport) - should have known this but did not...

    It’s either a m sport of it’s not both springs a different have changed quite a few on the f10s if it’s a M sport order one for a m sport or if not order one for standard suspension. And if u don’t know if ur car is a m sport there’s something wrong because standard and m sport on a 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 series are worlds apart
