It's probably the shock/spring coil... I had to replace mine on my e60... it wasn't hard to change out

There should be TWO springs that you will need to replace.
I'll bet only one of the two broke, but might as well replace both while you're at it.

They are relatively inexpensive, I think I remember I got both for under $200.

the video on that link isn't working so i'm on YouTube looking for a DIY. It sounds like there's only 1 spring on the right?

For my F10, I replaced TWO springs even though only one broke.
The two springs were different part numbers.

Got them from the dealership since they were pretty cheap.
