Thanks, that's great that you don't have to take everything off. makes this a much more manageable job and I am guessing you might not even need an alignment done?
I was going by the pictures in this thread:

The front bushings look like they have square holes so I assumed they fit onto square locating pegs. I've seen the pin/slotted bushing setup on e46's but was curious about how they did things on the 1 series. If you got any pictures of the alignment pin(s) would you mind posting them when you get a chance?
thanks a ton for the info.
