As they need replacement AGAIN
Not having much joy with finding this part no..
Does anyone know the rear barrel spring ome part please.

I bought Suplex springs for mine earlier in the year and have been very happy with them. Seem identical to the OE spring rate.

For a 2.0i M-Sport (it's not an I-sport, the i means injection) the springs are either 6229 (without options) or 6230 (with options). I presume options are electric seats as they're about the only thing I can think that adds a significant weight. See page 135 of the catalogue:

Allways known it as an I sport..but yes it does have m sport seats and steering wheel.
I think the reference to springs means active or inactive suspension..

The E85 was long before BMW started doing active suspension. Options is just that; options. In some cars this can add considerable weight so they increase the spring strength to keep the ride height the same.
