Here is my attempt at replacing the broken rubber boots on the front suspension on my 2014 BMW i3. The job was not that hard and took about 60-90min per side.
The part I used was ordered from www.koedbmw.com and part nr for my car was: 31336852223 "Spring pad with protective tub".
*** Remember that you do all work on your vehicle at your own risk!
*** Also be careful to not damage the ball joints or linkage for the a-arm/hub.
*** If the top nut with the inner HEX seems stuck, lube to prevent that from cracking.
If i missed something or there is a better way to do this, feel free to help out by commenting below.
The tool for compressing the spring was bought at a scandinavian store, Biltema. Search for "AUTO STRUT TOOL" or "COIL SPRING COMPRESSOR" and you should find it.
