i just installed my radiator today and it really wasn't that bad once i figured out a few details.

i read the BMW TIS but it was too incredibly vague to be of much help.

so if anyone needs me to write up a DIY, just let me know and i'll provide details and specific steps. it took me 2.5 hours but i bet i could do it in an hour now.

Sounds like you did pretty well all things considered. I spent more time than that washing my car today

I don't usually spend that much time washing my car but I decided to give it the Clay Bar and wax treatment today. It was over 100 degrees here today so I just took my sweet time.
