quick note from the pic i saw, i don't think you want to lay the radiator fans flat, leave them vertical to prevent any viscous fluid leaking out from them or out of position which will ruin them. (not sure if the front Electrical fan has this setup but the other definitely does.)

As for slap thickness, it is around 10", so way more than the normal 6". This was not really by choice just because the guys the poured the slap were too lazy to put down enough #57 rock to bring the bottom to within 6" of finished grade. I have had my Chevy dually on the lift many times. It weigh about 8,200 lbs empty, being crew cab long bed. So the X5 is nothing.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that when I order my 3rd set of 6 bolts, it will be the last set! I too picked up on that from this forum.

Just got back from Autozone where I ordered this engine support beam for when I drop the transmission:
I could have probably rigged something with a 4x4, but I think this will be much safer. Also, the Bentley manual calls for disconnecting the fuel line at the fuel filter and putting a camp on it. Recalling how big a pain it was to pull the fuel tank shield to replace the fuel filter, I decided to skip this step. No problem at all disconnecting the fuel line at the engine. There was no residual fuel pressure when I did so. Of course the truck has been sitting for 2 weeks since the last time the ignition had been turned on, so that may have had something to do with it, but that saved a good 30 minutes of labor right there.

Updated list as follows:
Looking at realoem, I'm not sure if I should also be replacing the upper timing chain tensioners (11311435026 and 11311435027), and I'm not sure I'm seeing any Vanos "seals" per se.

From what I have read these are the way to go when doing Vanos:
G.A.S. BMW VANOS System Products edit Sorry not for N62.

That's for the M54 kit. Here is the link to Beisan directly with the M62tu kit and full repair instructions. Read the instructions before ordering, then decide what tools you want to purchase/rent at the same time as ordering.
Beisan Systems - Products Instructions here: Beisan Systems - Procedures - M62TU Vanos Procedure I personally wouldn't worry about the upper tensioners, but then again, you will already be there so it can only help extend the amount of time before the front end needs to be looked at again
