Subject: Re: [E36M3] Re: Cracked Rear Shock Tower

For those who are still following this saga, the rear shock mount locations are separate pieces that weld into the inner fender. BMW has them in stock, although your dealer probably won't. My cost is $15.35 after discount - I ordered a pair.

I then called my insurance agent who told me to call the claims office who told me to call my insurance agent. After that run-around, I decided that the claims adjuster would take one look at the seats, harnesses, coil-overs, etc., and deny the claim anyway. I'm going to take the BMW parts to the race shop next week and just see how much it will be to cut and paste. If it's within $100 of my deductible, I won't even go through the hassle of dealing with the insurance company.

BTW, P/Ns are: 41 14 8 169 027 (driver side), 41 14 8 169 028 (Passenger side), reference #'s 16 & 17 on the "Floor Panel Trunk/Wheel Housing" diagram.
