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😂

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

Thanks dude! I was just about to do mine.

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. 😉

Does anyone know what size is that swaybar link

I perfect!!! Just ordered some DGR coilovers last week!

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

Since STs and KW V2s are similar, I would imagine the V2 install on a E46 M3 is similar to this?

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.

In your opinion what is the ideal brand and model for the most quality in the construction, build, performance and ride quality for the cost. This is an area where you don't want to be tight as you get what you pay for, and spending as much as you can is better than the usual spend as little as possible. So apart from the ST shown in the video, what do you like that ticks all the boxes

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??

Nice video, good length!

Wicked video very helpful.. grate work cheers fella

First, I want to say great video. I wish I had this when I did my ST install. Also had a question, do you remember where you ended up at after all the height adjustments? How many turns in the rear and how many turns in the front? Im running a staggered set-up: 18x8.5 Front et38 on 235/40/18 18x9.5 Rear et35 on 255/35/18 04 E46 Coupe I have the rear fenders shaved, but still get some rub in the rear when hitting bumps. Been lazy, but definitely need to get under there and raise it up which is why I am curious to what where you had things set. Thanks

And what kind of brakes is that car running?

@shoplifetv can you explain why there's no need for shorter links in the back when the car is lowered but a must when lowering the car in the front? Thanks.

great info as always!!!

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?🙏🏽

Does this setup work for XI models? And can you recommend good Coilovers for a 2005 330xi please. Much appreciated.

Hey man I’m about to put some bc coilovers on my e46 m3 and the ppl at bmw keep say those reinforcement plates don’t go on my vehicle. One kid told me that I should need them because bc usually has everything

WARNING…. Serious cringe factor when the sound deadening material is torn out. ;^) Joking aside, this is a very useful video. I appreciate you keep them short and to the point as well.

Thank you very much for this video🙌🙌🙌

Good install vid....Good stuff...

The only thing I can see wrong with the way you do this is the spring will change the high but the spring all so controls preload so if you ajust both the same then shortly the driver whight will through out the ride hight and weighing the car to set them up would be better

Homie just ripped into my car like we are at the junk yard with no F**** given no thanks 🙈🤦🏻‍♂️

There's a set of adjustable coilovers here at my local junkard on an 05 e46 330i rwd sedan that look great & am considering going and taking them off. However i own the same 05 e46 330 sedan but mine is an 330Xi (AWD) model, they look like they'd fit/work. Should i not attempt the replacement or what Should i do?

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

Great video

Awesome video man, any torque specs you can share?

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

Im just about to buy these ST coils, but i dont know if i should go with the ones with camber/caster plate or the ones without that. I dont want insane camber or change the caster. XA or XTA? Best Regards

Hey mate I need some help with my 330ci when I start the engine and drive it, it feels groggy and sounds like something is lagging in the engine doesn't drive properly but eventually the traction light comes on and abs light comes and makes a bleep noise then drive perfect no problem at all but this happens every time I drive, do you know what could be causing this? awesome channel btw

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

QUESTION! Does anyone know if the reinforcement plates for the front struts causes a rattle sound? everything is tightened and I cant figure out where the little rattle is coming from. I appreciate the help in advance :]

Are e46 I,ci and xi coilovers interchangeable ? Or will the xi kits be different since they are awd? I’m looking for adjustable kits but everywhere I look it says the e46 that are rwd will not fit awd, I don’t see why not. I have 04 330xi will a kit for 04 330i not fit because mines not rwd?

how much do the front reinforcement plates cost? cause i did the rear cause its very common but the front is normally never cracking right only by m3? further have you got solution for the squecking trunklid?

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

Hey mate, i have an e46 320d 136hp 5 speed, and i want to know if i can put a 6 speed gearbox from an e46 320d 150hp? And what are the good parts and bad parts changing it? Keep up the great work

Hey I have a BMW X4 35i, M suspension, will using sport mode wear it out faster? or not (in relation to suspension)

my e46 is bottomed out with the front suspension, any reason that removing the helper springs will make the ride shit?

Say what causes inner tire wear and how to fix it rear driver side

Hi, could you please provide a link for ebay or amazon for the kit you are using ? I want to do this project for my bmw 318i 2000 ans i need some recomendations, thanks.

Marvelous channel!

Love your videos. If i buy an ebay turbo and install it. Woul you be able to a remap?

Hey I only have one coil over creaking on the right front side they are adjustable I’m not sure why can anyone give me an idea .. is it the chamber plate I didn’t touch it because I didn’t know how to adjust it

i have the sport package on my 330i e46, do i have to buy a specific type of coilover for it or can i use any e46 compatible coilover?

Dont you have to revit the reinforcement plate to the mount?

Does the car need a re-alignment after this?

Bonjour Bonne vidéo 👍 Mais comment régler la hauteur arrière en vidéo svp ?

Hmmm, @ShopLifeTV I am about to stick some Eibach ProKit springs on my saloon. I got some Meyle HD front droplinks to replace the old ones. Am I going to have issues with the new front droplinks as the car will sit a little bit lower on the Eibach springs?

Best videos 👌

Impala links would work with lowering springs? Which year impala? Please need to know

Does this apply for 330xi as well? And are 2wd and 4wd struts the same?

well the head of the 18mm bolt in the front broke off for me 😕

Thank u so much

Can you lower a 325xi with coilovers from a regular rwd sedan?

What brand/type of coilover you recommend for a e46 330xi??

What is the part # for the lowering sway bar link pls?

Watching after 4 years How was it ? I am wondering to have same for my e46 What do you recommend mate ?

I'm gonna squat mine when I get coilovers. Obviously not as a permanent thing, but still

I got some racing coil overs, but don't l know how to adjust... rather not have a ship due it, maybe I need friends that work on cars

gold

Was up bro can you do rear shocks and coils ?

Where'd you get the reinforce plate from?

Can you please tell me if you pit 2 rubber pads for the rear springs ? (One on top and one on the bottom) I have some weird noise in the back... I put the adjusters on the bottom metal on metal with no rubber

Buen video. Saludos...

Link to coilovers?

So they seriously not show the finished car? Tf 🤯

And LOL misinformation at its finest bro. Do you know what you didn’t then now ? You installed camber/caster plates actually but you must informed viewers to either mount the front strut with the slide adjustment front to back if caster adjustment is desired or side to side if camber is desired ? Lol You never stopped to ask yourself, “ hey why does this camber plate have some many offset holes going around this entire camber plate” 🤔🤭 on the kw/st bmw gamer/caster plates the come included in this kit and other kits just like them with the similar design plate only mounts in one direction where your camber is adjust with the slide in the left to right side to side position and caster is changed by removing the mounting studs and shifting them to the other holes already available to you on the plates LMAOOO !!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
