Hi, I have an E46 M3 with damage to my Bilstein PSS-9 coilover kit. Recently the front suspension was making a lot of noise and, after taking it to a local shop, I was informed that both front struts appear to be blown (the shop said: the struts only "kick back" about 1/8", there is no tension, there is a bubbling noise, and there appears to be an excessive amount of oil on the strut). It looks like I need new struts, even though I've never tracked the car since I bought it, although the prior owner may have done so. Has anyone heard of such strut failure by driving normally on local roads? If you have any suggestions on the cause or repair I'd appreciate it. Thanks in advance.
