Yeh good one.

Andrew told me that install for n55 is harder than n54 and takes an hour or so

how hard is it to install yourself for the first time? I have no mechanical experience! According to you is it easy enough for someone with no mechanical experience?

Cheers

I installed mine with no mechanical experience - you should be fine. The N55 is just more time consuming I heard. Take your time and you will be fine!

Plus if you a problem just PM BMROXM I am sure he will be more then happy to help you out

In all seriousness though I think you will be alright - plus is better that you know how to install it and uninstall it if you ever need to bring your car to the dealer you can do it yourself!

What...if you were in Sydney, Adrian offers FREE install and so does BMR Autowerkes. I haven't personally seen the N55 install myself, but give yourself a good hour the first time to familiarise and you should be fine.

Also, have a mate around to help out, it does wonders when you're a bit nervous.
