It is not necessary to remove the control arm from the steering knuckle. Simply unbolt the sway link, upper bolts, and the strut holding bottom bolt and let the wheel fall and take out the shock.

@@rony_ftw I believe you are doing something wrong if you need to remove teh control arm from the knuckle. I have done this on many e46's of varying trims and not one time did I need to do this.

Thank you for your comment. To make it more convenient and correct to remove the shock, it is recommended to remove the steering knuckle from the ball joint. AUTODOC

Unfortunately, it is not possible to answer your question for sure, you can find this information in the technical documentation for the repair of your car.
What are those wheels
Honestly I noticed that this video was put out years ago it has 43,000 views and only 400 people gave a thumbs up do you know why because the way you guys show this thing you have to buy a whole bunch of extra equipment that only a professional shop would have not a normal human being.
