If you're planning a similar project, here's something to add to your planning: Since they're Made In America, their fittings are SAE (fractional inches) rather than metric. That means the trusty set of flare wrenches that have served so well in other Bimmer brake work will no longer be of any use, except the 11mm for the connector that stays on the hard line. If you're the anal retentive type who never touches their car with anything less than the correct purpose-built Facom (or maybe Snap-On in a pinch) tool, you'll want to be sure you have SAE wrenches on hand for this project.

Me? I used a Crescent wrench. In and out in three hours per car, working solo, including the final bleed.

The Motive Products pressure bleeder is a useful tool, almost like cheating. It's overpriced at $45 for a garden sprayer, but it saved me the trouble of driving around town collecting the parts to build it myself. Tomorrow I'm adding a swivel fitting between the line and the reservoir cap, that's the only major feature it lacks.

*except the rear inner lines on the E30. I couldn't reach the upper connections without dropping the subframe, or some other such effort I didn't want to do that late in the afternoon.
