Also, re-use your 135i inner tie rods. The e90 inner tie rods are too long and you will end up with a lot of negative toe.

Agreed, get a second set of hands to hold the steering wheel. Other than that, it's really straight forward and shouldn't take much more than an hour. After you fill up the reservoir make sure you let it run and turn the wheel back and forth a bunch of times, mine bubbled for a lot longer than I expected.
For the tie rods, just reuse your whole 135 tie rods and your alignment shouldn't be totally garbage. I got new ones while I was in there and even doing a tape measure alignment the drive to the alignment shop was interesting.
