Rear shocks/suspension, corroded or normal?

raptor_f22 · 12-18-2015, 10:34 AM

Hi everyone,

Mechanically inexperienced with Bimmers so asking a dumb question here... decided to have a look at the rear shocks and just wondered if these look normal or should I have them properly checked out?

I've not seen "new" or freshly installed ones on an E92 before so can't compare against anything

330d E92 Coupe M Sport

Thanks!

Those are the bump stops or what is left of them. They do deteriorate but those look quite far gone.

Thanks, do you know if they can be replaced as a part or would I have to replace the whole assembly?

you can buy them separately and not expensive.
