Tiny, party at my house? hehehe...

 

LOL, if he wants to, sure. I sent him full instructions via PM, if the OP still feels intimidated I am sure we can arrange an assist.

 

Hey there pjinca and toyota2bmw,

The PM was awesome! Thanks a million pjinca. Im down to have a g2g and have some "beverages" / pizza while doing the install if you guys are down to do it. Lets get a PM going and get something arranged!

 

the install isnt all that hard, just your basic tools are needed, far as the strut compressor, you can rent one for free at autozone (leave deposit, get it back when returned). i followed a guide i found on the m5 forums, i was going to write a tutorial but i did the install myself and couldn't find time to take photos and take notes, just focused on getting it done. although a extra hand would come in handy when putting in the 3 strut bolts, i honestly dont know how i did it the first time by myself.

but if a local member is willing to help, i would take on the offer, even tho i dont have professional experience, ive been working on cars since i was 16, so about 10 years now and suspension was always my interest. just do your homework, ask questions, and you should do fine.

 

John - thanks for the referral!

@bimmerspeed - give me a call directly on my personal cell 949-241-5623. We can install it for you.

 

pjinca and bimmerspeed, I was wondering if you would mind sharing those detailed instructions with me. I'm looking to tackle this on my '04 530 with a variable steering/sport package and I've read elsewhere that the spring compressors one can rent are not adequate to do the job. Thanks!
