Steve! the maestro of Mercedes is loving his BMW... Sorry if I offended you, but obviously I own a 528I and this suspension sure is flimsy, and if you have to do any work on them you need special tools and these special tools are dog gone expensive.

It took me maybe six hours to replace both struts on my 16V without any special tool whatsoever about a month ago, and here I am into two weeks and the Bimmer still on jack stand, why is that...Playing the game of waiting for tool to arrive.

But any way, I'm glad to hear the 540's suspension is better so perhaps in the future if I can afford it,I will upgrade mine...

Thank you for pointing that out to me though.

Alex
