This particular dealer installed a Dinan coilover kit for me last year. I will find out this afternoon what games they are planning to play with the blame, but either way it will get fixed. This is a BMW part that has failed and not the Dinan part they want to say caused it, but we will see. Never heard of anyone else having these go bad because of the coilover kit, I think they were just a defective part(s) from the factory. Both rear shocks were inspected are fine.

Excellent, just cosmoline as I had mentioned earlier!
But at least you found the source of the actual leak.
Now do the coilover kits come with struts?
If not, BMW may very well blame the drop that the springs provide, which could have attributed to the premature wear.
Hopefully it all works out....if not I'd file a claim with Dinan.
Keep us posted!
