quick strut question
I have an E90 with sport package. recently i hit a curb and my left front strut is bent and needs replacement. BMW recommends changing struts in pairs per each axle. what would happened if I change just the bent one? would it be a difference in ride height, handling, comfort, stiffness? car has 35000 miles. everything will be done through my insurance. you guys thing insurance should/would cover both struts? thank you

If you want to save money, buy OEM replacement Sachs, or Bilstein B4. They're much cheaper than the original BMW part, and they're exactly the same or better.

You mean the OEM shocks? pelicanparts.com, turnermotorsport.com, bavauto.com, etc.
