Hi Everyone,

Here is a video on how to install H&R Sport Springs on an F30 328i with xDrive.

Try everything at your own risk and let me know if I can help with any questions.

Excellent video! Random, where did you get your front lip? And how's the fit?

I got it on eBay for about $120.. It fits good, but the people I bought it from rose the price by a few hundred dollars..

Great video, especially as I'm doing this in a few weeks.

Do you know the torque specs needed?

Did it, great video helped loads.

6 hours on my own with no power tools.

Don't buy this type of compressor, absolute poop...

They work but don't feel safe!

The torque setting, for the rear...

outer bolt - 165nm (f**k off tight)
shock lower bolt - 100nm + 90 degrees

and the fronts...

tophat bolts - 28nm + 90 degrees
tophat etorx - 56nm + 90 degrees
shock top bolt - 64nm
swivel bearing bolt - 44nm
droplink bolt - 56nm

I didn't bother with the degrees but might go back and do them all again once I get my new torque wrenches

To get the proper torque on the bolts that need a passthrough use a long allen and torx with the correct size spark plug socket and a crowsfoot wrench.

The wheels should go back on at 140nm.

Did H&R spacers as well and the drive with H&R sports on MSport suspension really didn't make it any worse.
