Glad it helped, I hadn't seen the BavAuto video until after I'd already removed mine, the guide I'd seen said that said the strut could be removed without removing the arms\hub assembly by just levering them down but it was a bit of a battle. With hindsight it was obvious that loosening a couple of bolts would have made life much easier :lol:bearded_ed said:

Yeah it made it a lot easier!nivens said:
Did you find anything with torque specs for putting things together again?!
Yesterday evening I unpacked all my parts, I now have everything I should need except the front shocks. These should be with me tomorrow.
Work bench is getting very full!

The Newtis website was still working when I done mine so got my torque specs there. With that pile of parts it's well worth your time having a look to download a copy of ista from somewhere so you can get everything you need instead of trying to Google them.bearded_ed said:

Saw this in the morning and did wonder if it was yours (recognised it by the wheels)!Major_Sarcasm said:

Pretty sure no? I certainly don't have one on my 125i related to plugs.MPN1 said:

So did I when I did mine recently. Was pleasantly surprised, although it's entirely possible it's placebo!waldorf said:
I wasn't using the shift indicator, as the engine did not feel like it could handle the low rpms. After the plug change it is possible to run the engine between 1500-2000 rpm without hesitation. I am trying to run a full tank of fuel with this low rpms, which is hard for me, I am curious if it results in better mpg.

I'm finally done!
Car is back on all 4 wheels for the first time in 3 weeks.
Shocks, springs, discs, pads and refurbed wheels are on. Super happy with how the wheels look, still need to put my new stickers and centre caps on. Squeezed in time to do a much needed oil change as well as the cabin filter. Oil was pretty miserable given the 8k miles since the last one. Especially given that I have topped it up with 3L of fresh over that time. (many oil leaks now mostly solved).

Hopefully this gives you an idea. I'm really happy with them! Properly glossy which was the whole problem. They were very dull black and a bit kerb'daaronblack said:

That looks nice mate
I'm currently trying to decide between silver and satin black for my 313m on space grey. I seem to pick a different colour every week
