I’ve always been afraid to think of buying a 325 or 330ci but with these vids I’ll be getting one as soon as I find the perfect candidate thanks for your vids man they’re a big help

It's funny I just did this job on my car today, still watching the video though😂

[deseancarter]

Man I really wanted to see how that car sat once the coil overs were installed

Good explanation, I have never changed suspension before and will be doing it on my 330xi touring in January. Thanks for the help

Man, I did the same thing as you - I installed the rear shocks without the shim and washer under the rear shock mount. Been driving around for 2 weeks with rattles from the rear. So annoyed now that I have to take it apart to fix it up.

DO NOT disassemble the struts without a spring compressor. There is so much pressure with those that it can seriously injure you. They call it a “live hand grenade” sometimes because of how much pressure there is.

Do you have a link for the kit? I need this done to my e46, I would like to find it for a great price, I knw you always take price into consideration. Your videos are always a great help for me. Watching your videos is what gave me the confidence to work on my car myself. 😉

Nice job thanks for making a complicating job. Into a excellent weekend project. This video has training style productions from start to finish. Cheers

I have been waiting for you to do a coilover video, this helped me so much!

Hi there.
Great video for the install.
I have a 2000 E46 325Ci. What diameter is the front bottom shock absorber that fits into the knuckle??

[thomasalvarez]

Could u do a video on what obd2 scanners u use? And recommend a few for different things, which are better for bmw, etc

[austindamrel]

Where is your shop if I wanna stop by for some work done on my BMW?

16:42 you say to go to other side and unbolt the other sway bar end link. Why not just jack up the knuckle to the height you need?

[michael_es]

Does anyone know what size is that swaybar link

[jacklahey]

How much did all these parts cost? Probably gonna do that whole setup on the waggon

[andreagate]

great video! do the ST xts Assemblies allow you to preload the spring Independently of setting the right height, so that spring does not have too much pre-load on it or bounce around depending on the height setting?🙏🏽

[Taviux]

ST coilovers let you adjust camber and caster ? Are these the XTA ?

[Kingcustomz]

can you make a video about what it was like moving your business to a different state, and how did you get clients after the move? how much money did you save before the move? im thinking about moving to florida and moving my business there but im stuck and would like some advice.

What's torque spec for the 4 bolts you need to remove top hat bolts, bottom strut to lower a arm and spring bolt. Lmk currently have all installed in the rear just not torqued

[slammedba]

Any suggestions for if your coilovers didn't come with an indentation for the pinch bolt to slide in? Lol
