Ven, StephenVa is a bit handier than the average bear. I'm pretty handy, but found it a bit tricky angling it 'just right' to get it to line up to reinstall. That said, having done it once, a second time will be much easier [if I can remember what I did last time ....]. If you dont DYI, I suggest you find an indy bimmer shop that has done a few - in which case it will take them nmt 30-60 minutes .....
