HUGE SLICE OF "I'M AND IDIOT" PIE.
I just want everyone to know that this fitment issue was all my fault. Well, 75% my fault. I still put some blame on MSS for poor installation instructions, and a small bit on BMW for not mentioning it in their ISTA procedures, either. I think the very short version will sufficiently explain the mistake. In the picture below, the parts I circled... yeah, they come off. Here's the thing, though. Nowhere in the MSS directions, and nowhere I saw in the ISTA procedures does it mention this. Also, MSS never mentioned this in my email communications. Like, how was this not obvious to them, when I sent them pics and explained my issue? Anyway, this could have saved me so much time and (possibly) money, as now I need to try to return the Bilstein B8 struts I bought. ...which, btw, also don't fit. The fronts fit fine but the spring seat cup on the rears are too large a diameter for the black springs to fit over. My mechanic confirmed all of the above and also lamented the lack of detail in the install directions. Anyway, I feel shtty for the stink I made over this but I'm sure MSS has forgotten about me by now. lol Hopefully, the next DIYer can learn from me.
