Elmo,
Unfortunately not. I've got a 1990 325iC in which I replaced suspension front and rear. You will have to compress the strut springs to remove the strut assembly and cartridges. Not too tough a job, but somewhat time consuming.

It should also be noted that this is a life threating job w/ out a spring compressor.

Good Luck
