Just finished the rear springs on a 2007 328i sedan. Just to confirm what others have said, I removed the upper end link nut, the nut holding the shock and the OUTTER bolt holding the swing arm (attached to the brake assembly). The brake assembly dropped down and the spring came out no problem. Jacked the brake assembly back up, replaced the swing arm bolt, link nut and shock nut. Done. Watch for the rubber grommet on the brake assembly where the swing arm attaches. It gets kind of jammed when being jacked back up. Use a screwdriver to guide it back in. Keep your jack directly under the swing arm as you jack, otherwise the swing arm bolt doesn't want to slide back in easily. I'll do the fronts tomorrow. FYI..
