Parts are ordered, added a couple things like another oil change with engine flush and ceratec (might as well at this point), cabin air filter, and plugs if they end up looking bad when we're in there

Also, think we've decided on the Continental dws 06 plus (225/45/17) and we'll probably do that when we're back home and have time to set an alignment aside too.

I'm planning on doing this a little after Christmas since I'll be all over the place with family and girlfriend's as well.
Awesome! It's a fun job. My recommendation is to pull the windshield wipers and the windshield cowl. It makes getting the cover on and off 100x easier. I burned at least an hour and a gasket fighting to get the back corner seated. It was easy as pie with the cowl off.

OFHG is a 30 minute job.
Definitely wasn't scared of the ofhg, but a little nervous about the valve cover. I'll keep that in mind, thank you! Need to replace the wipers too…

Lol literally just did my 50k mile maintenance on my f32 and this is all the same. I'll never leave BMW
