Ok, has anyone actually attempted the SSTT install on their 135i yet? I got the aero-cover off the bottom of the car and had to search around quite a bit for the TMAP plug...

and I found it...

and it's WAY up in the driver's side of the engine compartment, about 10-12" past where I can get my hand because the steering linkage is in the way. Altitude-wise, it's about the same height as the top of the wheel, so it's definitely not sitting there in your face when you're under the car.

I laid there staring up at it, trying every which way to shove my hand/fingers up in there from every possible access point, and I don't see any way to make it work.

The TT came packed with 335i installation instructions, which are useless to us of course. I referred to Jeff's post in trying the installation from the bottom, but I don't have a clue how to get at it without some dextrous tongs or a pygmy.
