FWIW, I did the install on my E36 M3 coilovers, adj camber plates, sway bars, etc... not having ever done any suspension work before, and although I've always been mechanically inclined, I've never had any formal training, just learning as I go.... I can't see how someone who is actually somewhat formally trained would fuck up a job that badly. Coilovers to the layman might be a tough job, but to someone who is familiar with the components and who has the right tools, it's a piece of cake. Are you sure they didn't just pass the job off to some bum off the streets? No way did any sort of professional mechanic do that.
At the BMW dealer they asked me if I was trying to do the job myself?!?!?!

I probably should had done, I m sure I would not do that bad in a million years.
