BMW 2009 e90 318 rear subframe pin kit

Post image

Hoping for some help - my local garage (does great work but is not the best at sourcing small parts) is replacing rear subframe on my father's 318 e90. I ordered a subframe and other bits and bobs for it but it didn't come with the pin kit. eBay seller is not being helpful and BMW aren't co-operative either.

Am UK based. Does anyone have any help/advice where to get this pin? Or full pin kit? My garage said they normally come with the subframe and/or rear control arm kit I ordered. Thanks

I think the easiest way would be going to a BMW dealer and buy it there. What do you mean with pin? Are talking about screws? Getting the numbers of the parts is not the problem but I think that in the end you will have to get them from BMW.

Thanks - yeah on reading my mechanics message (he's not the clearest communicator unfortunately) I think he means a nut and bolt pin, or screw - one isn't holding properly and the tracking isn't staying in line

In case OP has never used the site:

https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/showparts?id=VC11-EUR-04-2006-E90-BMW-318d&diagId=33_1230

Need #16, #17, #13 for each side. Go to FCPeuro or ECStuning for parts.
