I love how you take you’re time to actually explain why you’re doing what needs to be done. Great video!

Nice work, guys! Budget coilovers are a nice upgrade. Man, cousin owns you guys big time! It’s like a new car!

Very nice guide 👍👍 ! Good job

bro this e90 series🔥🔥🔥 learning so much

Thank you for this refresh thinking about doing the 325i e90 been a while since I did it on the 330

Wauw, finally someone who knows his stuff! There is a lot of nonsense being told on the internet about spring preloading. Like you said, preload is only to ensure that the spring does not come loose from its seat during suspension drop. Other than that, it doesn't do anything at all! Almost all auto coilovers have linear springs. A few mm more or less preload is not important. As soon as the weight of the car comes on the coilovers, the preload is cancelled out by the weight of the car. Just make sure there is enough tension on the spring to keep it in place and you are ok. I do not own a BMW but I love watching your video's. Keep them comming!

Great step by step guide!!

Always coming through with that thorough explanation. Since my E92 335 is good to go now (knock wood), I will be getting some goodies for it and handling will be high on my list.

All the explaining made the video a little long, but it can be used for most coilover installs! Handling upgrades are awesome! Especially since you are already caught up on maintenance!

Super nice DIY brother and sister! Looks like great stuff from ECS. Thanks for sharing and have a great weekend. Dutch regards Nico.

Honestly impressed for the price of these coil overs! I drove the car 4+ hours to drop it off earlier this year and it felt great at the slightly lowered ride height. My cousin has been daily driving it for a few months now and still loves it!

Good job on your videos. Informative and we laid out. Hoping these videos gain you more followers and future opportunities.

I own a e46 M3 but watch cause I just enjoy Bimmer content 🤙🏽Ⓜ️

Watching this video was hilarious also helped me I’m a new sub 🔒🤣

Good job

Great video as always. I did not remember seeing a section on when you need to add lowering end links (shorter). I have Bilstein B14 CO’s abs it lowered the car quit a bit. I put lowering end links on the back but was not sure how to determine the length of the lowering end links on the front. Can you advise?

I need a bmw again it’s been 10 years since I’ve owned one 😢

You can find decent prices still on the e46/e9x cars. Clean examples of the e46 are getting harder to find so it’s only a matter of time before those prices start going up!

Me too. How I miss my beautiful 2002, midnight blue, oyster upholstered 325i E46 automatic BMW that I bought from the original owner at 92,000 km and drove until it had done 270,000 km - and sold it six years ago. The VW Golf I replaced it with, although super reliable, practical and economical (42 US mpg), feels like a shopping trolley by comparison - sooo pedestrian. But I know if I buy another BMW it’d have a host of issues that would cost a kings ransom to address. The young bloke who has this video channel is awesome. 🦘

I'll sell you mine. It's a 2001 525i. I've it rebuilt last year 2022 and now I've gotta replace another gasket. Which is why I'm here watching and wishing he lived close to Greenville SC. I'm sick of BMW dealer mechanic.

I barely clicked to make it public! Appreciate the love man!

Keep the e9x series up please

Where did the bump stop support (silver cap) go on the rear shocks? It would have a 10mm hole in it, but these shocks are likely 12mm, so did you drill out the support?

I have these same coilovers and its wayy to low in the rear even at max height. Like its almost tucking the rim lip. Any idea why?

This was a enormous help for these ECS coilovers. Myself I'm pretty green on anything mechanical and unfortunately I'm not blessed with having that innate ability but this breakdown allowed me to even complete it if need be which isn't the case I have so-called a shop that is supposed to be somewhat reputable that has no fucking clue how to even not blow off your freaking end links as they set the car down along with other basic stuff. Anyway thank you. If you have other instructable vids content on LCI e9x xi repairs or modifications that translate to pre-lci also let me know if you have another link or if you don't if you have a buddy that you could point me in the direction of that you trust more or less

Sorry for being off topic but you know your stuff and I'd like your insight. I've got an 07 E91 with the GM automatic. Do the GM transmissions have problems with the solenoid sleeves like the ZF does? Car has 94k miles and I already had the fluid replaced at 92k.

Can u post how driving experience like after coilover replacement?

I drove the car 4+ hours to drop it off at my cousins place and they felt great. We only lowered the car slightly and softened up the ride a bit more then shown in the video (12 clicks from fully hard). My cousin has been daily driving it for a few months now and he loves it.

I replaced mine with BC Coilovers and they were too bouncy. Were these ECS ones a decent ride or much more bouncy?

Hey I have a question I accidentally plugged my battery in the ring way and it sparked up plugged it in right now car won’t turn over any idea?
