Yeah I was expecting a comment like that as I scrolled down...absolutely great DIY video. One thing i think it would be good to go over what to put back together as you are reassembling the front suspension.

How close was this to the E90? I'm putting B14 Coilovers on my 2010 335D next weekend.

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

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

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

Hell no, Not with that background music.

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.

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 !

Excellent video, perfectly concise and professional!

+PR0J3CTXYZ Agreed it was very professionally done. It still surprises me when (many) people who I would expect to know call it dampening instead of damping. If your suspension is dampening anything, you probably have a blown shock/strut!

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

A very slick presentation and a joy to watch.

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

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

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

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

Thank you Mike with ECS Tuning

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

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.

Love the detail work !

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

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

Fantastic video. Helped me immensely! Thanks!

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

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

Man wish cars looked this clean in Rhode Island

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 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

They use an impact and call it a day, working in a shop can be brutal tbh, everyone is working on commission, some techs straight up don't care and will use an impact on everything so they can flag hours, it's rough out there.

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

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?

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!

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

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

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.

awesome video this is how you roll

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 KZread unfortunately :(

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

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

Thanks for sharing! Very informative. =)

Pro install. Looks great!

Fantastic video 👍🏼🤘🏻💯

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..

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

excellent how to video. best ive seen!

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 video

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

Great Video , Love it !!!

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?

If all mechanics could be has good as this guy!

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

very well done video, damn nice

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

Gold medal diy video🥇

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

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

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.

Perfect job

that was an awesome video.

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

Excellent instructions 👍

Thanks a lot!! Great video!! :D

Nice exhaust! Which brand and size pipes?

Awesome ! Thanks !!

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.

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

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

@xanthopoulos1825

On the e9x the lower spring perch is part of the subframe (and is quite aggressively shaped) so an adjustable lower perch wouldn't be optimal

Perfect 👌🏼

@@charleshang2842 you could have watched any brands' cheap ass Chinese coil over install video on a MKIV and applied the same process to the cheap ass Chinese FK's. Then made your own video to share with others and help them. However, if this was an actual question you would have been better off contacting ECS directly- Instead of posting your question on a KZread video that's installing ST coils on a BMW. It seems common sense isn't very common these days.

is 90 degree necessary after torque?

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??

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

What ride height do you recommend for track/street use of a 2011 335is

lower than stock, but might depend on the road conditions next to your abode

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)

Very helpful thx

@@seanthao that 90 degrees is part of the torque spec according to bmw. A lot of torque specs require an specific additional degree of rotation after the foot pound torque figure

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

What size wheels are those?

where is that body shop?

so the alignment is needed for coilover installed, but what about the just springs installed? still need alignment or not?

Absolutely Zero it is always best to get alignment done even when changing springs as it can affect the camber etc.
