Very dangerous and inconvenient.Actually, my dad previously bought a pair before from Jalan Ipoh, but when I brought it to Optimum to be fitted a couple of months ago, I was told the part couldn't fit. Then today whilst browsing thru ebay/schiedmann/realoem, it seems that I had purchased the correct part. I have attached a diagram of the parts as obtained from realoem.com:<img src="http://www.realoem.com/bmw/diagrams/s/i/9.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />It's item number 12 - Gas pressurized spring    420N    2            51231908465According to the site, the correct part number is 51 231 908 465. And from what I can see, I seem to have the correct parts:So, I already have the struts [Picture A]. And based on what I had found on ebayuk, it seems that some are selling just the struts, and others, with additional items as per the Picture B below: [Picture A]<img src="http://i1132.photobucket.com/albums/m580/woodentiger86/IMAG1477.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://i1132.photobucket.com/albums/m580/woodentiger86/IMAG1478.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Picture B<img src="http://i1132.photobucket.com/albums/m580/woodentiger86/E32GasSpringBonnet.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />So my question is, what else am I required to purchase in order to rectify the bonnet? Is there any additional screws or grommets [the two items on the side in Picture B] which are required before the new springs can be fitted onto my ride?Really appreciate some guidance here guys. Thanks!</p></blockquote><p></p>
