mousitch · 04-22-2010, 02:05 PM

Just ordered the mounts. Suppose it's pretty straight forward. 1.Support trans. 2.remove crossmember. Just wanting to see if there are any surprises when I get under the car.

It's rated on their web site as a "1 wrench" level of difficulty (5 is highest)

Out of any Bmw it's the biggest pain in the ads, with the right tools you can cheat it, but most people are actually going to have to take the exhaust off.

I did it on my E46, and it was easy job. As long as you have the proper equipment to support the car and tranny, you should be able to do it inside an hour.

Two different cars. It is more difficult on the z4.

I watch the shop installed my tranny mount. The exhaust needs to come off to slide it in place and torgue.

Sounds like fun. I dig wrenching on it so it's cool.
