Do all the people that are removing the radiator have an n/a motor (Pre-LCI)? I am considering attempting to replace the water pump and thermostat on a 2013 X5 35i and the most thorough DIY i have found is a video (link below) by BavAuto on the 1 series. Would love to be able to work on ramps instead of jack stands if possible though.
