Have you done your plugs in your b58?

I'm looking for any quick tips beyond what's in the TIS.

I've got the thin walled socket and extension, torque wrench...done it a few times in prior bmws.

Anything more than remove cover and strut brace and torque properly?

Nope, same as an other car.

Do I have to remove the entire strut brace? Seems like a bit needs to come off the back.

...and, sorry...if that comes off, are these critical one-time use only screws? I imagine most shops would reuse them, but if any are aluminum, perhaps that's prudent to do?

BMW saves 20 lbs. in bolts and it costs us 10x more to replace. smh

Thank you, weehe!

Brace needs to come off to get the cover thing under it. Only tricky thing is the plastic rivet you have to pop out on the drivers side for the large plastic gasket. No one time use bolts.
