Hi all,

I have a SG CSL 2003, just over 40,000 miles - factory standard w/aircon, xenons, CD/Radio, delimited, 19in wheels w/P Zero Neros ...

Just failed my MoT - broken rear coil spring - hit a pothole on B-road and I can still feel it! I have no near-term tracking plans but maybe in the future - should I replace the coil spring(s) with BMW OEM or upgrade/switch to something else?

I also have an annoying rattling sound from the rear seats - keep adjusting them but it won't go away - anyon else have this?

The right side wheels are badly kerbed - any advice on refurb in the Surrey area?

Apart from these points I am a committed CSL fan - like the sound the look of the E92 GTS but I will be sticking with my CSL ...

OEm spring yes, very common - some say replace both but i say fuckem!

rear seats tend to make noises - check contacts with surrounds or turn up your radio if you hve one

Lepsons is not far away for wheel refurbs

Lepsons I've heard are very good and offered me a good deal to get some wheels done in the past :thumbs:

A bit of a gulf between a CSL and a 100k E92 GTS isn't there! :bigcry: :bigcry:
