Exclamation Need front struts for 06 330xi

I have an 06 330xi I’m having a hard time finding front struts for it. I bought the car recently one of the springs actually broke and now the rest is hanging around the shock. It has billsteins and I was told it had lowering springs. I don’t care if it’s low or stock height need either the right springs or a quick strut assembly for it. thanks

Hit up RealOEM.com. Enter the last seven digits of your VIN. It’ll tell you what the factory parts were, and you can use those part numbers to cross reference with aftermarket stuff (like Bilstein).

I don’t see how shocks for this car could possibly be hard to find…?

I see Bilstein B4 struts, which mirror factory performance, available on Rock Auto. It does not say sport or non-sport however. And LesJorfors front springs (sport or non-sport).

I’m in the same situation like you! One mechanical charge me in 600 bucks just to change the upper struts rubber and one tie rod

Best to seek out an alignment shop as mechanics are pretty proud of their $200 dollar an hour labor rate. Where as alignment/suspension shops know that's a number they can never get you to agree to and are much more experienced and better priced for this sort of thing.
