Thank a lot sir!
by the way, when installing spring at the rear wheels, do you have a piture?
i 've heard that installing f10 at the rear needs to take passenger's back seats out first then put the spring on, isn't that true?

You're welcome. I think they do it through the rear speakers but don't take my word for it. I took it to a shop and they did it for me.

The shop I was at for some reason couldn't do the alignment (BMW software conflict!? Not sure) but alignment is perfect so it wasn't necessary.

I got the springs from bavauto.com and I dropped my car of at 9am and it was ready at 3pm. Shouldn't take more than 6 cars.
