I suppose it's probably a good idea for bimmerjeeper to take his shocks to a professional, but he's going to have to settle for whatever off-beat solution they come up with if they shear off a bolt. I would not be surprised to see anything at all these days, from drilling a nasty hole through the whole floor, to leaving a bolt out, to some solution that costs an arm and a leg.

That is why I suggested he not go to a Meinike or Walmart level store, but use a shop that has welding and sheet metal skills and hardware & tools, heavy duty repair shop, body shop, custom shop to get it done in case it takes any fab work.

...and hope they don't solve the problem by welding the bars on!

I've seen that done by crummy shops... including a meineke, iirc. Anything to get it out of the shop, owner won't notice till it is shock replacement time again, etc.
