It will make a nice addition to a house that I'm in the process of buying. In case anyone is wondering what I went with:

Husky 30 Gal. 175 psi High Performance Quiet Portable Electric Air Compressor-C303H - The Home Depot

Husky 1/2 in. 800 ft. lbs. Impact Wrench-H4480 - The Home Depot

Impact is definitely the way to go. In some cases some heat may have to be applied but using the break away letting it soak over night and the impact the next day usually gets the job done. BMW uses the "Mother of Jesus" Torque on bolts and they are always tuff to get off the first time. Try the crank bolt one (another high torqued bolt of a monster)
