Our local BMW CCA did a "tech session" at a local dealership where they removed the bottom cover of the F10 below the engine as well. That was much more interesting. The part that probably surprised me the most was the electric steering pump. It was this tiny little thing in the front of the car. My car has IAS so it probably looks a bit different than the non-IAS car I saw on the lift. There were something like 20 screws holding the bottom cover onto the car.

The front suspension looks like complicated and fragile to me. No wonder the whole thing needs to be replaced where there's even the smallest impact on the front wheels.
