Question? There is DIY that I recently saw for the springs on the forum. On the 6 must the back seat be removed to access the top of the strut? Not that I would attempt a DIY but my interior is white and the rear has never been sat in looks straight from the assembly line. If the rear has to be removed then I probably won't attempt it. Thanks fellas and appreciate all the feedback.

That was my write up. I found it almost impossible to access the strut nuts by only removing the speaker grills.

Great write up, with all the details and pics!

I'm big into DIY, i did the rear airbags on the X5 a few years back and feel comfortable taking stuff apart on a car and putting it back together. I have all the tools and garage for it. The springs is something that I'm on the fence about. If like you stated that the rear seat must come out then I pass. My white interior will go to shit... could use a drop but doesn't look bad as is.

Thank you!!

The rear seat itself doesn’t come out, per se. The only part of the cushions that came out were the very extreme edges of the rear seat backrest. The rest of the work was done with the seat bottom in place and the rear seats simply folded down. What has to come loose the most is the rear shelf where the sunshade and speakers are. The leather was pretty well protected since the seat was just folded like normal.

Being on the forum definitely contributes to the mod bug and hard to get away from. All of my BMW's except for the X3 were modded in some shape.

I got the F06 last September 2017 on the last day of the month right after hurricane Irma hit. I swore to my self and to the wife that I wasn't going to mod the car because it sat PERFECT... that didn't last long.

Here are few picks from this afternoon as she sits today after tints and full detail.

-CF diffuser
-CF rear lip spoiler
-M6 comp mufflers
-CF M muffler tips
-Black double slat kidney grills
-BMS intake
-RSV 21" wheels
-20% Ceramic tints
-Fully coded with all options
-Debadged
-Color matched rear reflectors
-OEM interior LED

I think I'm done for now... considering getting a CF front lip.

Out of ALL the cars I have owned this by far is my favorite! I have even considered getting the same F06 just 2018 later on.
Car looks good man
