Rear coil spring change
Has someone renewed rear coil springs? One spring on mine just snapped with a loud bang while the car was parked. (Yes coil spring, not air spring.) Looking at BMW instructions there is a special internal spring compressor tool available. I would think it would need heavy parts removal to do this job without some sort of spring compressor to get the hub to correct position to slide the spring in place. Any thoughts?
