How to repair rear shocks for bmw 528i
I have not done this model, but the hardest part on these cars is usually getting the trunk lining off the shock towers so you can access the bolts at the tops of the shocks. On a '98 three series, you have to remove the rear speakers to get the trunk lining out intact. To remove the rear speakers, you have to snap up the speaker covers in the rear deck, and snapping up those covers without breaking them when they are 13 years old and brittle is just about impossible.
I don't know if your rear speakers will have to come out to get to the shock towers. For your sake, I hope not. It would be tempting (and much quicker) to cut the trunk lining off the shock towers and glue it back when you are done. If you do it neatly, only another BMW owner would notice what you had done.
How does the CD player turn on
Make sure you have one. Its on the left in the trunk. Load 1-6 cd's in it and then, with the radio on, select CD on the dash
Keyless entry is not working
Probably the battery in the remote. Would check that first. Let me know if that works before getting deeper into it.
Keyless entry
What is the problem? Keyless entry doesn't work? I would check the batteries in the remote first. Let me know if its something else. Good luck
