Join me in this hilarious tutorial where I attempt to replace my EV rear shocks - emphasis on "attempt"! Watch as I fumble my way through the process with plenty of laughs along the way. #DIYFail #MechanicHumor

Came for the shock replacement. Stayed for the memes.

Well done video! Wish I had the ability and confidence to do this for our newly acquired 2016 i3. Cheers!

Wait till the front bolts snap off, that’s fun! 😨 The sacrificial corrosion within the top mounts and the chassis is absolutely off the charts and you might find a weird gel substance in there . never seen anything like it in any car I’ve worked on

Already did the front… and yes 5 out of 6 bolts has snapped off, that was fun… NOT! Had to drill the frame and put helicoil in, fun times.

Just came back from mission mars, that’s why it needed new shocks 🙃

where buy new shocks?

For the labour involved, and because it’s about the only thing that’s cheap on a BMW, I’d have changed the bump stops. I’d also put a smear of grease on the top mount. Aluminium corrosion eats them. Just wait until you see the fronts with the top mount bearing!

Thanks for the tips, will do it next time😉 I have already changed the fronts, actually wasn’t that bad…

Get the proper pucks to go in the jack mounts. You will split them doing that. Or is that why your monocle is Bad Mechanic. Best Dave

Yes these are the rear ones. Be careful with the front ones when undoing the top bolts, they snap very easily.
