Hi all,
I am wondering, is there any version on sale of this spring with more thickness, in order to avoid the same failure on the future? I still do not have this issue, but I would like to have the spring on hand just in case I have to change it in the future. Yesterday I was on my mechanic, and he showed me this spring (he has few of them on stock due to is a typical repair for him), and it seems quite thin and weak. In case I have to change it in the future, I would like to put a thicker spring. |

This happened today in my wife's X1😩😩😩
Just wondering how long it took for some of you members? I'm quite competent with my hands and know my way around lol. I'm hoping it is the spring after pulling everything out. Cars on 54k miles 2016. I've ordered to spring. Thanks for that thread, very useful |

There is at least 1 Youtube video. Looks like a pretty advanced project. I bought a new shifter assy and had it done at my Indy mechanic. Took them 3.5hrs and they didn't have to take aprt the shifter to change the spring.

Broken torsion spring F48 2017
I have passed all what people posted about this topic.
Last question is should I order new spring from ebay or repair original one. Since I become second hand owner a month ago, I am searching for best long term solution . Can someone tell me how good are springs from ebay and can they match original ? https://www.ebay.com/itm/31478444748...mis&media=COPY Thank you ! |

Is there anyone in the Montreal area (Canada) that knows a shop (non-BMW dealer) that can do spring replacement? Thanks.

Brought it to Pinco000 on the weekend, and he sorted the problem out for me quickly and at a very reasonable price... he even managed to help remove the door fascia to repair the door lock button that had popped into cavity. A nice guy and highly recommended. Thanks for helping me out pinco000 - much appreciated. |

Progress on a Recall and/or BMW Response
Has there been any progress on a recall for this and/or has BMW acknowledged this being a very obvious recurring issue with safety implications?
I'm shocked nothing is being done when clearly, no question without a doubt this is a faulty manufacturers defect |
