Such a good presentation brother, I love the way you explained everything..cheers

[@skinnysdrumshop]

Great job! Thank you for the thorough explanation. I'm planning to do all 4 corners soon and didn't realize the rear deck was involved. Thanks!

[@NoGaragE30]

Thanks! Yes, rear deck removal is required and time consuming, unfortunately. I have another video on that. Make sure you dont put it all back together until you are happy with the new suspension install. Good luck!

Great video. Saved me some time on my 530i this morning.

[@pureretro88]

just wanted to say how incredible this was, and likely to sway me to go with GC over Bilstein

[@K03sport]

seeing this makes me long for a 540i 5spd (wagon). such a clean looking M5 from when BMW new had to make M cars ( and when they made actual wagons).

[@mikeleonard8031]

I normally use two ratchet straps to compress the spring so it is a little bit easier to get out.

[@Jky67122]

You have a garage now. Congrats!

[@mikeleonard8031]

Just get the control arm in a horizontal position and torque the bolt because you want the rubber bush basically in a fairly neutral position.

i have a a 530i e39 that i’m about to lower 👍🏽 clean m5 🤌🏻

[@Sam-uo2vk]

Good job mate however tell me why you didn't put the original protection ( dust protection) ?

[@jackprick9797]

Great video. Are you selling your style 65's? I am EpicM on M5 Board if you want to PM. What is your impression of the GC/Koni suspension? I was thinking of going Dinan/ Koni. Thanks.

[@NoGaragE30]

Style 65s are safe in the garage and soon to be restored. Not planning on selling those. Im loving the GC setup so far. Car performs much better than the Bilstein & Intrax spring setup I had before. Definitely a stiffer ride, as you should expect from any aftermarket coilovers, but still compliant for street use. Thanks for watching!

[@jackprick9797]

@@NoGaragE30 Thanks for the reply. Looking forward to more videos.

[@AceOfSpaces17]

Very good tutorial

[@fatmansushi]

how did the bilstein ride was it still comfortable for daily drive? looking into buying some b8 for my 540

[@NoGaragE30]

Cant go wrong with Bilstein and a good set of springs to match. I have run B8s with H&R Springs on two of my cars with great results.

What wheels are those? Looks awesome

[@junioralvarez4036]

Where u get the coilovers?

[@NoGaragE30]

Directly from Ground Control. These kits are usually made to order. Took about 2 months to receive.

[@rizzyz2472]

What rims are those?

[@NoGaragE30]

BCForged MLE72

[@Sxhilsingh_s]

Will that suspension good in my 540i?

[@NoGaragE30]

My understanding is the 540i shares the same suspension setup, but I would call Ground Control just to be sure.

[@guillermomartinez-clavijo7685]

I'm also interested in your old suspension!
