VERY IMPORTANT: I recommend you look at the part numbers on your existing shocks and struts to figure out if you have the sports suspension or not so that you know what to order. I have the sports suspension so this is what I ordered:
Front struts:
31316786003 Left front strut sports suspension
31316786004 right front strut sports suspension
31331094749 BMW Mini Strut Dust Sleeve - Febi Bilstein
31306775098 BMW Strut Mount - Lemforder 2700101
Rear shocks:
33526771729 Rear shock sports suspension
33536767335 BMW Shock Bump Stop - Febi Bilstein
33506771737 BMW Shock Mount - Lemforder
33506771738 BMW Shock Mount - Lemforder
33526768544 BMW E9X 3-Series Rear Shock Mount OEM
As always, visit www.realoem.com to figure out exactly which part numbers belong to your car by looking up your VIN number.
Good luck!

The legend has an intro now! It's awesome to see this channel grow and help so many people. Thank you so much for all you've taught me!
I no longer own a E46. Regardless, I remember how much time, money, and headaches this channel saved me from. Because of that appreciation i will still continue to stay subbed and like every video you post.
Thanks a lot for helping me through the wonderful journey of owning two E46s!
I still own a 2002 E46, and STILL enjoying those time, money, and headaches this channel saved me from! He is the best!
Thanks so much for still watching. I totally understand when people drift away from my channel because they sell their car.
Two weeks ago watched X3 oil pan gasket replacement as a preparation for changing one on my wife's X3 F25 N55. Saved my a$$ big time. Good to see you back man!
Ahah intro inspired by M539.
Nice
Not just him, also Road Kill or many other channels. I think it's a good idea to see a preview of what you're gonna see in the next half hour, because you lose the most people in the first 30 seconds.
50sKid i cannot thank you enough for this superb tutorial on the precautions and how to install, as I have the BMW 320D E92 M sport and had been stressing on how to do the procedures on both back and front! I feel really confident after your video!
You're the best with these videos, love how you always talk about things to consider while doing the job and potential other parts that would be easy to replace at the same time. Nice work!
Thanks for this, been trying to figure out how to get the spring compressed right to get this done and I think this is it. (using on my e90, but still very useful). Now hopefully the right side takes 1/3 time as the left
Good video, suspension can be a huge pita and watching yours made it easier for my job. The most important thing is to lower the control arms so that you can get the strut enough room to slide into the knuckle.
Hahahaha !! Still looking younger and younger boss good to see you’re still making videos 😭 you made my childhood w my first e46 🥹🙏🏻
Damn, I don't know how to feel about this comment. You started watching my videos when you were a child?? Has it been that long? lol
Maybe stupid question, i am now watching your great video.
I saw you have to hammer hub quite a lot before you get shock removed.
I would put big flathead screwdriver in that groove with hammer, to spread it. Then shock is much more easy to remove.
At least in E46 series it helps.
Second thing, maybe good idea to use some lubricant spray on spring compressors. Some people said you should only use hand tools when you tight spring compressors, not impact.
I did use a big chisel to spread it apart.
the guy practically made me a bmw guru...highly appreciated man keep the good content coming🙌💪💪
On the front shocks, the bump stop is not supposed to be mainly tucked into the bellows, but stick out the top so you put it in upside down
Excellent video , Thank you so much , You took away some of my fears on how to do this !
A strut mount spreader tool makes life much easier
or any large screwdriver or pry bar.... so painful to watch the hammering in the intro and told me enough not to watch any further🤣🤣
Hi 50s kid, it’s been so long since you’ve come out with a video! Would love if you bought an e85 bmw Z4 chassis, maybe with a blown 3.0l m54 with a 6-speed, and did a full S54 swap! I have an ‘03 e85 3.0i Z4 and would love to see a full video series of a S54 swap!
Hi, i just wanted to say thanks for all the videos with the e46, built my 325ci fl with some of your videos, thanks 👍
Oh yeah and next one will be an e92 335i with the n55 so i’ll have to watch some more
Bilstein B4's are easier to fit as a DIY as they don't need such high compression of the spring, they do a m-sport version as well.
What brand of safety glasses is going to stop a spring compressor going straight through your head 😂
I'm almost thinking about doing it and see your upload. I think it's a sign!
Please buy a special socket for removing the front struts. For example HAZET 4912-3
Definitely a must, it makes this job so easy.
My special tool is that vice grip, lol. Sometimes you don't need to buy every special tool.
@@50sKid i used a spark plug socket, had the top available for a wrench
Thanks again. Lovin' your work, mate. I need to do the rears on my e93.
you and the car are looking great brother!
Try motor mounts for the clunk when you come to a stop or brake
I have mounted my rear shocks but I didn't have to do all that what you did especially underneath with the bolts It's actually there's an easier way You're doing it the more difficult and unefficient way for the rear
How so? Details my dude.
All bmw repair videos now start with “coming up” 😂😂😂

Hello I’m a huge fan
I have a question for you. So I have in palm desert ca and I want to know if you could help me remove the oil filter housing of my engine block (bmw e70 w/ n52 engine)
Hi
E39 528i 1998
Light Control Mode (LCM)
What is the best ways to be tested and reprogrammed if needed?
My lights bit funny after car been unplugged from battery for a year.
Thanks
@50skid do you still have your e46?
Hi 50s KID, Can you help me please? "I replaced the valve cover gasket and after starting the engine, it started to hum and the engine ran as if a cylinder was misfiring. The humming noise comes from the CCV tube that goes into the valve cover. When I disconnect it, there is pressure coming from the tube that causes the humming. When I block the tube with my hand, the engine runs well. Do you know how to solve this problem?" Thanks Joseph
Your CCV rubber thingie (can't think of the word right now) is toast. Replace the CCV.
Hi. I just replaced all that on my e46 330ci and the car wonders ALL over the road! Any suggestions?
Did you get an alignment?
@@mind.hacker9996 Not yet..I have a problem with front speed sensor trying to sort that out. Could it be Alignment?
I mean it's bad. In the rain I can hardly keep the car under control
@@Drforbin941it absolutely is your alignment.
alignment for sure, but it shouldn't have been off if you properly aligned the little peg in the hole at the top of the strut tower.
@@50sKid Thank you for your reply.
The car has positive camber and is riding about an inch too high.
The guy who put in the struts etc used amazon junk. So i have bought all new from oembrimmer and replacing myself.
i love how many times he says 'the thing' ...if youre posting a video to youtube, do everyone a favor and know the names of the parts. Who is going to trust a mechanic that doesnt know the names of the suspension components?
If you had a Toyota, literally any Toyota, you wouldn’t have any content lol.
Bro- you shouldn't post videos if you don't actually know wtf you're doing. You're supposed to spread that bolted clamp on the base of the strut with a beefy chisel tip before you pound it off... that's BASIC KNOWLEDGE
He did…?
Quit hating. Or tell us to follow your channel which shows how to do it "correctly"
ppl need honest comments...hes not a professional...hes showing incorrect and unsafe methods and doesnt even know the names of parts and tools. this isnt helping anyone. This guy probably has a lot of 'participation' trophies
he did at 6:48
Nah
