| I have a 2005 bmw 325xi with 65,000 miles on it. i am told both rear springs are broken. i was also told by the repair shop that this is a much too frequent problem seen on 3 series bmw's. in 40 years of owning automobiles, i have never before had one with a broken spring. this seems like an unusual problem and one that would be caused by faulty equipment. | |||
