You can check out a DIY our own member Amanda has done. Rear Shock replacement Front Shock Replacement This should be similar to the process on the e46. You would probably need to find a Spring Compressor, you can usually get one from an autoparts store as long as you leave a deposit. |

Suspension is a very easy job. Take it off, put it back on, torque, that's it. Good luck with the rest of it.
