hoping they will come out ok...at any rate, I bought the bolts elsewhere for 1/3 the price of the stealer. Also found a good price on the tranny fluid, service dept qutoed 8 liters (they sell them in 1/10 litres for some reason) @ $76/litre!!

Got the same required OE fluid (BMW part #:83-22-0-142-516), made by ZF, for $27/litre at pelicanparts.

Now just waiting for parts to arrive...
