Jack & jack stand (though I didn't use a jack stand because I didn't have the corner up very long).
14mm socket for the front caliper bolts.
13mm socket, 17mm open end wrench, t-5 bit & t-45 for the rear calipers.
Torque wrench to torque everything back down.

Awesome! Good to know. I had an n54 engine, so I have ALL the tools and spent a lot of time with them. 😀

Pro tip: you only need to lift the rear of the car to raise the rear and the front, saving jacking up time as you can remove both wheels from each side at the same time on the same lift.

Took the bitch to work since it finally stopped raining.

I have the carbon fiber interior pkg also and the trim around the center air vents and around the radio button is piano black. Just BMW being cheap on the cf pkg. Was the same in my wife's X3MC with carbon fiber pkg, only certain parts are carbon fiber and the rest was either piano black or silver. So I had to buy cf pieces online to replace those.

Where did you buy the cf interior trim around the vents?

Yeah I did the DRLs, spacers, and reflector delete myself (and at the same time since I had to take the wheels off).

The DRLs are really straightforward. Just lots of screws to remove. One tip is make sure you loosen the headlight screw under the hood enough, and the DRL comes right out. Blasted through the second one.

Spent the better part of an hour cleaning brake dust off the wheels then knocked out the rest of my break-in miles with a drive up the California coast.

Your garage is immaculately clean and I love it!

Interesting! How much was it? I spec’d it on mine but a neighbor with a 230 didn’t. She might be interested in adding it.
I love this option.
