M3 E46 rear spring!
Discussion
Had mine replaced a few months back,they tend to break at the end of the spring where the coil diameter gets smaller,never noticed myself untill the car was up on the ramp where it sat ever so slightly lopsided.
New springs were £170 from bmw and its only a 10 minute job to fit them.

Unreal, isnt it?
Stuart at Forza West managed to get mine sorted at short notice (just as well with the MOT getting V short!)
Had a look at the knackered spring - not a pretty sight, cant believe I've been driving it like that
Yeah, and on the (short) drive home I can't say it really felt any different - will have to take her for a more spirited drive to check :-)Stuart at Forza West managed to get mine sorted at short notice (just as well with the MOT getting V short!)

Both springs had broken right at the bottom.
