Thanks for you're advise JamesM. I'll be ordering the small parts in the morning.

If those #s correspond to the upper perch and upper/lower rubber pads, then you're A-OK. Dinan's springs are meant to fit the US rubber pads. The Bilsteins should have a new nut, and all you'd need is the US non M5 upper perches and upper and lower rubber spring pads. Simple job, you'll need a 22mm box-end wrench or socket/torque wrench. Support the rear suspension before removing the shock to prevent damage to the CV axles! You can get to the upper perch nuts through the rear seat/parcel shelf area. Why do they call it a parcel shelf, anyway? It's a bad idea to put parcels back there!

ok you guys are scaring me. Here's what I got; Bilstein sport shocks for a 535i, Dinan springs for a non-self leveling type (to match the front Dinan springs) and am about to order all the small parts from the dealer from ETK diagram 33_0250. 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,11,12,14,15,16. Am I good to go?
