Removing front struts on xDrive 535's
Is it possible to remove front struts from a F10 535 xDrive without removing the upper a-arm bolts? I do not have Electronic Damping Control. I'm planning on installing lowering springs in my driveway using standard jack stands. Thanks.

Yes, but IMO the procedure is even worse than loosening the upper arm:

Followed this video the first time I installed the Dinan springs and will soon be doing it all over again with the V3s install. The only thing you SHOULD NOT follow is how they failed to use a spring compressor. Always use a spring compressor. Always. Quote:
