BMW Coilovers available here: goo.gl/4i4O76

It’s been a decade, and this is still one of the BEST KZfaq tutorials of all time.

THIS IS HOW EVERY DIY VIDEO SHOULD BE .. HE COVERED EVERY SINGLE STEP....GREAT DIY!!! I'LL BE DOING THIS SOON ON MY E90...KEEP ON UPLOADING VIDEOS... I'M DEFINITLY SUBSCRIBING .

All involved in this production should be very proud of it. Concise and matter of fact. Excellent throughout touching all bases. Illustrating and verbalizing all torque specs was a great inclusion. Thumbs waaaaay up. Bookmarked for sure.

The best DYI video I've seen. All steps are clearly explained. Professionally done.. awesome job dude!!

Great video. Extremely professional quality of work. Give that dude a raise!

I love how professional you guys are. Very rare to find people that take care and attention. Respect.

this video helped to save me 400 bucks to get my springs replaced. thanks so much for DIY video. Respect!

What a fantastic, thorough explanation of coilover installation. My E90 goes in to the garage tomorrow for an install I will be referring to this video as they work on it ! ! ! to make sure they are doing it right !

I remember doing this job thanks to this DIY when I started learning. Very easy to do with it.

Seen a few videos doing this now, you're the only ones to not remove the tie rod or completely undo the control arm. easier the way you do it.

Best 335i Installation DIY on KZfaq. Thanks from Germany.

Great video guys. Thank you for including torque specs. Well done.

This video saved me lots of time and effort today installing my coils

A very slick presentation and a joy to watch.

Excellent video, perfectly concise and professional!

Those st coilovers are as soft as oem if not softer. Learned the hard way.

Great video guys! This helped me out so much while installing coilovers on my E92

Very good explanation!!One of the best I've seen! Thanks a lot,keep it on!!

That 335i is spotless. Thanks for the bitchin presentation.

Thank you Mike with ECS Tuning

This is a Super coilover instalación video... good job!

excellent video. This video added so much clarity to my upcoming project.

SUBSCRIBED... I especially like that you actually make an effort to respond to viewer questions...

Fantastic video. Helped me immensely! Thanks!

At 6:11, the closed caption quotes says '165 millimeters' and at 6:17, the video captions correctly show 165 Nm (Newton/meters) for the bolt torque setting.

Man wish cars looked this clean in Rhode Island

Love the detail work !

Great video, just ordered some Bilstein p14 from you guys,, hope my tinstall goes as smooth bas yours

cảm ơn bạn đã giới thiệu và hướng dẫn rất chi tiết,BMW Coilover installation

Great video. Can you please tell me the size of the nuts and bolts on the rear control arm please? Specifically the ones that you are only to tighten when the suspension is loaded. Thanks!

If you came here to install your KW HAS system on your E92, the front perches need to be pressed on with a shop press. Otherwise they will not slide down the strut far enough, and your ride height will be almost 3/4" higher than it should be.

Hello, I ordered a ST coilover kit , for my 08’ BMW E88 and was wondering how to access rear strut

Question: Can I go ahead and torque the strut nut before it is installed? Or is this something that is recommended be done after installation for fitment purposes? Thanks and excellent video, has been priceless in terms of knowledge and help it has provided!

Great vid. Awesome play by play. But I have a none related question. Why the exhaust. Big brake upgrade. BOV. But stock air box?

awesome video this is how you roll

So glad I found this video ! Thanks heaps ECS !

Just installed my full coil over kit in my driveway with only floor jacks and hand tools, honestly I could have never done it without this vid, big thanks to ECS tuning! cant post pics on KZfaq unfortunately :(

So I don’t need to mess with the pre load for the rear? Just twist the collar rings and thats it?

Would it be necessary to replace the bolts that connect the contol arms to the (forward) subframe? I've taken the tension out for extra clearance on the strut/fender..

Whats the purpose of the 90 degrees turning of the bolts for the control arms after you have torqued them down to factory specs?

Also, where can i find the torque wrench tools small enough to torque the 3 bolts of the strut under the hood?

Is there a video for xi awd or would I basically be the same just need the xi coil overs is there any difference in installing?

I ran into into a problem. I thought I was prepared, but I wasn’t. I need pass through sockets to tighten shock on the bottom. My question is, since I tried tightening the 17mm bolt and the shock was just spinning, did I damage my brand new shock by it spinning freely? This is Koni STR shocks

Helpful video thank you. But I will add when he says to not worry about the alignment when loosening the inner bolt on the rear lower control since you'll need an alignment anyways ignore that comment. Mark it and make sure you get it back into that position. I just loosened and re-tightened it only to extremely put the alignment out of whack. Out right dangerous driving on the wet free way later that day. Major rear steer going on. I then adjust it by just eyeballing and its better but still very out of alignment and now have a dsc malfunction. I plan to get it aligned of course but not after I drive it a bit and make minor height adjustments. Would have been a lot better to maintain the alignment I did have by simply marking those bolts positions.

Thank you so much for making this video. I assume this will work for 128i

excellent how to video. best ive seen!

If all mechanics could be has good as this guy!

Thanks for sharing! Very informative. =)

Pro install. Looks great!

Brilliant video and great advice however I have one question, if you set it all up then drive for a week while it settles then get an alignment don’t you risk uneven tyre wear?

Hey! Does anybody know if the the tightening specs are same for all e92?

Well done. You didn't fly through and I actually learned something...

Great video, great tips!!! I tackled my coilover installation this weekend and your video was extremely helpful, thank you for sharing!! Sometimes I wonder is those random shops actually take the time to torque the bolts to spec or just use the impact gun and call it a day!! :I

Gold medal diy video🥇

Muito Obrigado Esta exelente o vosso Video Obrigado

Great Video , Love it !!!

Excellent video

how much do you guys charge for coilover installation for F30 ?

Any idea if the torque specs are the same for a 09 335i Xdrive? Great guide by the way, super informative!

Fantastic video 👍🏼🤘🏻💯

What was the 90 degrees after you torqued down already?? Extra tightening??

Thank you for the great video, thumbs up. I wonder if ECS Tuning is Deutsche TUV approved.

very well done video, damn nice

Do you know if the F30 335i is roughly the same? Rumor is they are much more difficult. Very well done video btw, great job and just all around pro!

Excellent instructions 👍

I have the issue of my shock going thru the top and I think it might be the bushings can someone help me?

where could I find that tall jack?

wow I shouldve watched this before installing megans on my car, I had to push down on the rear rotors cuz i didnt think about the rear control arms like that. BTW i needed wheel spacers in the front so ALWAYS have them just in case cuz u will be rubbing and messing up the inside of the wheel (2 days did a number on mine)

that was an awesome video.

11:43 no spacer on top of the strut mount?

Perfect job

Nice exhaust! Which brand and size pipes?

Thanks a lot!! Great video!! :D

I love that you don't show the use of your spring compressor adapter plates.

is their anyway u can list all the wrench and socket sizes needed for this install please. It would be greatly appreciated. thank you

Where can I get that shirt for my shop? Thanks

what wheels are those? they are sick

Awesome useful video!

Great vid ! Tx !

Hi, What wheels are installed?

Awesome ! Thanks !!

Great video

Great video. How similar is the process for an E92 M3? I figure it's very close, if not the same process.

If i want a confortable ride in my BMW whitch suspension setting is best for the car

is there any harm in installing the rear spring perch on the control arm? I've seen setups with the adjuster at the bottom.

Hello, May i know the reason behind to rotate the bolts to 90° @16:09 after torquing them down.. Thanks..

What size wheels are those?

Can you tell me what exhaust that is, looking for tip diameter. Thanks!

is 90 degree necessary after torque?

Perfect 👌🏼

@ 3:57 he didn't say the size of the lower control arm bolt :/

ECS, would you happen to have a specific video for installing the FK street line-coil over kit on a MKIV?

The car is clean af, I have 2009 e93 335i dirty af 😂

alright cool thanks!

where is that body shop?

great job! perfect video. super star

Is the process much different for an e82 135i? @ECS Tuning Thanks

👏👏👍 hi from Turkey 🇹🇷

Hi, great video and sheds loads of light suspension . my 116d se I notice the the rear right gap between the tyre and wheel arch is smaller by 1 to 2 cm than the other wheels, so basically one side looks higher than the other. Would you know what might be causing this??
