Rear Suspension Question
I've searched and searched, but can anyone tell me if I am planning a suspension rebuild if I need to order part #2 separate, or is it a piece that is reusable from the old suspension?

It's steel, but cheap, so you can replace it if you like using new parts, but you don't really need to. I assume you're replacing part #4 !!!
I ordered new ones simply because I didn't trust that the last owner had put everything back correctly, given how quickly the rear mounts destroyed themselves.

One of these was missing on my car, and it resulted in a top mount being punched through!Originally Posted by BMWCCA1

Thanks everyone! I was planning on replacing the mounting pad and gasket, spring pads, boot, bump stop. Is part #2 something you got from the dealer or is there an online source available. BMA doesn't list it online but am I right in assuming that if I call they would have it?
Since it is my daily driver I would hate to get it apart over the weekend and find I want to replace this small but significant part.
