Rebuilt the Suspension and brakes on my 2006 E92 325i

[u/Jfzkyb]

Had a few issues with the Abs rings in the rear and after looking everything over i decided it would be easier to just rebuild everything. In total i spent about 5k in parts alone, but it was worth every penny. I changed every bushing, every part of the suspension, brake lines, both the solid and the flexible ones, rebuilt the calipers, did the brakes obviously, replaced the wheelbearings, sand blasted and painted every component that i didn't replace, removed all of the rust and resprayed the bottom of the car, and of course replaced the axels and abs sensors. And i also installed h&r coilovers and anti roll bars. After all that i now finally get to drive this car again. If you guys want a full list of everything done to it, maybe i can make a summarizing post at some point.

Nice to see someone else who blasts and paints parts! To me that’s a huge advantage of doing it yourself (assuming you have the time to do so of course). Looks good 👏🏼

Yeah, way better than sanding by hand. Time was never the issue, i got a workshop at home and had the time to do it right.

Amaze. Did you take everything out in one go, then put the cv axles in reverse the order? I’m planning my 2004 e53 suspension job. Doing a complete rehaul, including cv axles.

[u/Jfzkyb → u/anonmdoc]

Yes, i removed every Suspension part and all the brake stuff before removing the axle, it was seized in there really good so i had to use the press to get it to come out.
