If the labor cost wasn't so high, I would pay someone to do this.
My buddy who works at BMW says they remove the FMIC(intercooler) when changing the water pump. IDK... for this job I just let my dealer do this job. The two year parts warranty was worth it to me - especially traveling all over Europe... that might come in handy one day.
