But it's also pretty amazing that BMW is selling front struts for a car that hasn't been built in 40 years!

You´re right Steve,

 

but maybe it would be better to say BMW is having the struts. For selling there must also be somebody to buy and I can´t really imagine anyone to do so at this price.

 

Best regards, Lars.

The nice thing, though, is that when someone runs into your car and bends a strut,

their insurance company can still buy you one.

 

These cars are going the way of GTV's, so eventually, people who "have" to have one

will start paying the prices.  And the rest of us will live on our hoards of spares.

Or make the parts ourselves.

 

And don't put goats into your strut tubes.  It's not nice to the goats, and they ride like crap anyways...

i'd like to take this opportunity to dance in a circle and share my joy at the set of good condition Alpina 'red dot' struts (with inverted inserts) complete with Alpina calipers and vented rotors that i acquired in August for $530.00

 

sorry, i couldn't resist the gloat.  i had absolutely nothing of value to add to this post....

I use the terminology differently. For all I could see we were talking about the strut insert at the time. I call the insert the strut and the outside the strut tubes. Thats where that came from....
