My Ride: 545I and a half dozen other rides
Because of the gas filler tube the hardest to remove will be the right rear. You will also need a spring compressor (either rented or bought outright) to change over springs to new shocks.
I'm sorry - I should've been more detailed. I will be replacing the front struts. I'm having a hard time on what to buy. My friend told me to get Bilstein, twin tube struts, but still having a difficult time finding these online. Bilstein calls them HD, Sport, and Touring. I don't know which ones are twin tube vs monotube.

This is where I purchased my Bilstein Sports (all four). I love how they feel. My boss who recently rode with me loved how smooth the ride was; nearly OEM while cruising but mildly firm during cornering. They also have a link about the general install of our shocks. I'd say installation at about 3.5/4 wrenches out of 5. I did mine myself. Good luck

Highly recommend the KW coilovers which are adjustable. I went for the Street Comfort for the best of both worlds.
