Installation summary
This medium difficulty suspension installation is well within the capabilities of a competent DIY enthusiast using basic hand tools, a hydraulic jack, and a spring perch tool if your vehicle is equipped with adjustable coilevers. You must support the suspension under load before fully torquing all fasteners to prevent premature bushing failure, and remember that replacing these tension struts requires a professional four-wheel alignment immediately afterward. Note that BMW TIS specifications require replacing these control arms in matched pairs, and you should always watch out for proper ride height calibration if your car features aftermarket adjustable suspension.
