Today is the day - New springs on F82
-
Today is the day where I attempt to install a set of MS springs on my F82. I do have the help of a more experienced buddy and from what I've researched, it's not rocket science. Still this is a little beyond where I've gone before. The irony is somehow I think I am smarter than the BMW engineers by installing a $300 set of springs on my $80K car. Wish me luck...UGH!

Just be careful taking the strut mounts off. Don't lose your head! (Literally)

Are you installing new dampers as well?
Dampers? How would you describe those if I were a 5 yr. old?

You had me at shaft! No. I stayed with stock.
So, it took us four hours for all four springs. All in all it went pretty smoothly considering it was our first time. The fronts actually ended up being less of a pain than the rear. I drove it around a little today and the wheels didn't fall off so I am calling it a success. Unfortunately, the spacers didn't go on due to clearance issues with the snow tires. I am holding off on putting my freshly polished summers on until at least the beginning of May. I will add before and after pics.
