i have a damaged front struts, so i asked bmw how much it would cost to fix, and they said $1680. i personally think that price is ridiculous so i asked for a part number and they gave me this:
31-31-6-780-194
it's front right struts for '09 335xi.
the question is, i've searched getbmwparts.com and found this:
http://www.trademotion.com/partlocat...&siteid=214672
there are 5 options, which all have same parts number, among 3 which calls into the LCI parts category. i'm confused which ones I have to buy =X

Not sure on price on parts, but I had an independent shop give me a quote to install a front strut on a 07 xi and the labor was about $280, I think. He charges $80 an hour.

I think all three are the same thing - same part number. You can PM Evan@Tischer also.

It's the same part; each part number points to ONE single part. What you're seeing on Tischer's site is just that the same part appears under the different categories/catalog that Tischer/BMW has them in.
