Did it yesterday, thanks for the write up as it aided in my successful attempt as well. I was nervous about doing it myself, it sounds like a beast of a job but wasn't that bad at all. I will definitely do this on every new to me BMW that I purchase and at every 50k miles.
I added 4-1/2 liters (5 if you include the overfill) and only took a couple of hours. The intimidating part for me was ISTA, but that had to be the easier part of it. If you have not done this and you are thinking about doing it, DO IT!!!! It was almost as easy as an oil change. The hardest part was finding a the correct tool to remove and tighten the fill plug b/c of the actual spacing between the bolt and firewall/body of the car because I tried to find a torque setup locally, impossible and I ended up just going the Allen wrench route.
Thanks again Unspec for the awesome write up, I owe you a 12 pack my friend.
