That flat part on the lower part of the shock is a safety pin so its locked in that position for lateral movement. keep up the work bro and good to leave the tq and nm settings in the video

Oh, oh! I know the story behind those shocks now, Han. 😂 Youre too much man! Im still cracking up! My hat off to you! You do great work and use the best products for your rides!!!

thanks for mentioning the correct side on the lower bushing of the shock absorber. SUBSCRIBED

Thanks! Good video to show how it comes apart.

Before changing rear shock on a e46..... Buy a convertible. Both shocks is changed in alot less than a hour. After changing the shocks one time its done in totally 30 min. Meaning expensive long life shocks is not needed. Specially now when models getting old.

Bmw Master Tech. Nice video

Han great video. It’d be great if you included links to your parts list thanks. I just got a $3900 bid from the dealer to do the same thing you are showing. Thanks

you need to put the squarepart facing the bolt head because there is a problem with the bolt completely going through the bushing and leaving the shock hanging the body of the car

Hey man, My rear shock is different from yours. The bottom has no flat surface in the side.

Haha Mate is your Torque wrench a Wonderwrench one ? 😂 you do all the torque Jobs with only this little Guy 😅 but as always in a typical Han‘s Quality 🙌 even if i don’t own a e46 anymore i still keep watching your Videos just for fun cause i like your workflow and all the Ooookeeeey‘s and Aaaalriiight‘s haha it’s relaxed 😎

I honestly can't say they are the same but I'm guessing they would be very similar
