This is hands down the best dyi tutorial I've seen far f30 spring install so far. Simple, straight to the point, no sidetracking, no opinions. Just tech talk.

@jacksampson7711 5 месяцев назад

Ha! What a blast from the past. This showed up as a recommended video on youtube. Look how far Brians has come. Congrats!!!

@juniorschouten3448 4 года назад

Thanks alot Kies Motorsports! Just lowered my f30 with KW springs with your DIY. But without the power tools it requires lots of strength but it worked. My f30 with 19 inch bbs lm looks much better now.

@VVH1997 3 года назад

Really nice to see where you started this channel. congratz on learning so much and growing your channel :)

I just bought a gorgeous EB 335i and your video will come in very handy once I start working on the suspension. Thank you for making the video.

@KiesMotorsports 7 лет назад

Awesome, good luck with it!

@TheAutomotiveFanatic 7 лет назад

Thanks again for the video; it provided a great guide for me to install H&Rs springs on my F30 this past weekend. The only trouble I ran into was the alignment of the rear control arm to the brake hub assembly. I simply could not get the pivot point perfectly aligned so a mechanic friend successfully did it for me. Do you have any videos on DPs or upgrades for the FMIC?

@KiesMotorsports 7 лет назад

Great, glad it helped! I don't yet, but I'm trying to parter with a few companies to do some new videos, but no firm dates yet..

@shardsofcontent4829 7 лет назад

I finally installed the H&R Sport Springs with Bilstein B8's on all 4-corners of my 335. Absolutely unequivocally brilliant result. Costs a few bucks up here in Canada but so worth the time and investment. I was a bit worried after your anti run-flat post. I put standard Pilot Sport A/S3's on the car and like I said ...

@KiesMotorsports 7 лет назад

Hi, Rob. Awesome, how's the ride?

@shardsofcontent4829 7 лет назад

The ride is slightly stiffer than stock but not a problem at all when driving around. My wife said "very smooth" today, so I think we have a verdict. Expansion joints on one of our older bridges sharply remind me that I have a Sport suspension though. In general I think the 225/45ZR18's buffer a certain amount of road texture. Two really noticeable things are the drop in ride height and the swift immediacy of steering input. This is what a 3-series should feel like.

@tuned_auto 5 лет назад

Has your verdict changed a year later? Did you use the stock end links?

@kevinrivas7594 5 лет назад

How did you fixed the negative camber?

@lykeomgkevin 7 лет назад

after owning an e46 and an e92 now onto a f30 all things just get more complicated. I am cursing at my screen just watching you do the front end of this haha. thanks for the videos man! ps. love your car, i have a f30 14 328i xdrive sportline and i'm doing that front lip and vinyl wrap the back of the sportline from your videos!

@genoksreye7190 5 лет назад

Thanks for the video. What is the torque settings on the top strut bolts.

@bmwman540 4 года назад

Just completed this job today with AC Schnitzer springs. Just to help. we noticed that the drive shaft can sometimes pop out when the front strut assembly is taken out. This makes it really difficult to put the new strut assembly back in. Make sure that the drive shaft is fully engaged when strut goes back in . Also some of the bolt sizes and numbers may vary between models. I was working on 435d EU spec. Otherwise a great video. Many thanks.

@matthias_372 5 лет назад

Just to let you know. The process works exactly the same on a F36 the only difference is that the torx on the rear axle is bigger, you need a different key

@adamandrew292 6 лет назад

Where did you get that spring compression tool you used for the front? The one you used looks very safe with the c clamps, there is no way for the spring to slip. Do you have a link? Also does X-drive, or the ability to switch suspension modes effect this job at all? Thanks.

@platinumzs1k 6 лет назад

Where are you putting both of your "U" jack stands? I cant tell where to put them.

@TheKdizzler 2 года назад

I had to replace the entire roll over strut arm (you one you removed 2 bolts from), the final bolt removed was by the subframe. I cannot realign the knuckle arm bolt which was a skipped scene here, the jack goes from being by the knuckle to under the spring. Any suggestions?

Hi Brian, it's very enjoyable to watch your DIY. I am working on the same project for my roommate's F30 335i. Do you know the torque specs for those bolts? I did some research showing that: everything looks OK but the three 16mm bolts which are only 28NM. The tightening specs look too low. If you know what exact torque spec, please let me know. Thanks!

@kingmonkey88 5 лет назад

I always find that last large 21mm bolt on the rear lower wishbone the most difficult to get in as the knuckle bushing never aligns straight to get the bolt through. I noticed that you jacked up the wishbone under the spring. I'll give that a try next time.

@CorneliusVeee 5 лет назад

@olejohanwaago6054 5 лет назад

Hey quick question here, If you feel like the rear height is too high of your H&R Sport lowering springs, is it possible to put some BC coilovers weight ajuster on top of the spring to manually lower the rear by yourself with coilovers ranch?

yes you can, changing springs does not change the mounting point of the end links on the strut body, you're good to go.

Do you need an alignment after installing these?

@junmaecarlo 4 года назад

Any suspension mods definitely needs an alignment check asap. I myself bought super sports for my F30 vs. the H&R sport springs in the video and if you’re especially doing a diy install, it’s highly recommended.
