MMR Lowering Springs Installation advice

Bought a set of 4 and looking to install soon. Has anyone installed them personally or is this normally best left to a pro shop? I've been looking online for a tutorial but have not had much luck and am apprehensive about working on the suspension.

Did reach out to a local shop in the meantime and they quoted ~1100 in labor for the installation, anyone know if that is average for this service?

Im on the same boat. Ive been hitting up specialty German/BMW shops nearby for a lowering spring install and most quotes are upwards of 600. Im handy enough with suspension work but I know BMW tend to require specialty tools. No luck with DIYs that are detailed enough to go forward with it. Hopefully we get a knight in shining armor to make one soon

Look for DIYs on the m340 or m440. The installs would be the same.

I had my MMR springs done by a shop. They are very reputable, and the charged me $1200. Took about 2 days.
