Great find, overall. But that last step you mention probably kills it for most people. I'll do almost anything to my cars, but considering the risk in that step (I'd not want to brick my car), and the effort vs. the cost of just buying from BMW (the cheap way, as I detailed earlier), I'd take that route. But great that you are able to do it yourself.
