BUT...Im not going to argue with AGA. 
Am also wondering what tools OP is using..... timelapse vid somewhere, worth watching... |
Generally BMW part numbers coincide with the specs for the part. If they update the specs, it gets a new part number. This doesn't mean that newer parts aren't better, if a supplier improves it they may use an indicator like color to distinguish them but since the old and new versions both meet BMW's specs they are interchangeable in their mind and will retain the part number.
I rented the AGA tool kit off of eBay, $175 for 2 weeks. Supposed to arrive today.
