That's gonna be a long shot, but if you aren't able to source one you can get them from ST/KW or you could replace both rears with something like Koni orange. They'll work just fine, just make sure you pair it with the z4 bumpstops if you do it.

I may have one for you, but it will likely be a couple of months. My right rear blew about 15K miles ago. I have been driving with one blown shock and it still handles ok. I am thinking of going to Koni yellows, but was curious about the recommendation of Koni Orange.

I wanted to ask about the comment regarding the Z4 bumb stops. Without hijacking the thread could you elaborate on the reason for their use? My car is currently towards the lower end of the adjustment range. My intent is to bring it up to Msport levels as I understand that to be the optimum drop from a performance perspective. It may also be a little easier on the shocks and give a little more winter ground clearance.
