Used BMW 8 Series Coil Spring

Yes, the BMW 8 Series (G15 coupe, G14 convertible, G16 Gran Coupe, from 2018 onwards) uses coil springs as part of its suspension setup, so you are looking for a real part that exists on this model. The front axle uses coil springs over dampers, and the rear suspension also uses coil springs, meaning there are springs to source at all four corners. A breaker can supply these from a salvaged 8 Series.

The current G-generation 8 Series launched in 2018 and has continued without a full model change, so on the surface a spring from a 2019 car and a 2022 car come from the same generation. However, spring rates and specifications can vary between engine variants and suspension options within that generation, so confirm with the breaker against your exact registration before buying. Never assume fitment solely on the basis of shared generation.

Trim level in itself does not change the coil spring specification in the way that, say, engine size or suspension type does, so an M Sport badge alone does not mean you need a different spring from a standard car. That said, BMW offer various suspension options on the 8 Series and whether your car has adaptive or sport suspension can affect the spring fitted, so confirm the specific spring specification with the breaker against your registration rather than going on trim name alone.

Engine size and the weight it places on the suspension can influence spring rates across the 8 Series range, which spans four and six cylinder diesels through to the M8's high-output V8. For this reason it is worth telling the breaker your exact engine variant and registration, rather than assuming any 8 Series spring will do. The breaker can cross-reference against their dismantled car to check suitability.

Front coil springs on the 8 Series sit over each individual strut, so you do need to tell the breaker whether you need the nearside (NS, left) or offside (OS, right) spring when ordering a front spring. Rear springs similarly sit at each corner individually. Always state NS or OS clearly when requesting a quote to avoid receiving the wrong side.

The G16 Gran Coupe is a four-door body style and is larger and heavier than the two-door G15 Coupe, which means the spring specifications may differ between the two body styles even though they share the same generation platform. You should not assume the springs are interchangeable across these body styles, and you must confirm with the breaker against your specific registration before purchasing.
