3-4 hours to install on my 335i....

Still haven't figured out how to get the the front turbo vband bolt that points directly down at the engine mount. Ujoint wont get it...as its at a 90* angle.
Whats the trick asides pulling the motor?

Rotate the vband up and towards the motor, use a gear wrench to tighten it down from the top leaning over the passenger side fender. Helps to remove the vacuum canisters.
