Now, it's time to remove the steptronic! Got to really use my new ESCO jackstands too. Highly recommend them over the harbor freight ones. I also had aluminum jackpads that fit nicely on the rubber pad of the stand.
And I failed immediately...ugh. problems to take care of later. Open header is hilariously entertaining, FYI.
Everything else came out without a fight. It's amazing how thin the 325i driveshaft is compared to the 330i. It also doesn't have any butyl on the CSB. That was an interesting surprise!
The guibo is nasty, it's getting replaced.
Transmission mounts have sagged, they are getting replaced too.
Transmission came out with no stripped torx bolts! Yay! This was the end of my day.
