Thank you.
I was a BMW Tech for 4 1/2 years. As a Tech we obviously don't have the greatest reputations thanks to a lot of shady mechanics out there. But I can tell you not every Tech is like that (at least where I worked). I can see everyones point about forgotton tools and such. It happens sometimes when your working on 15-25 cars at the same time in one day with some being waiters and the service writer breathing down your neck at the same time. I know, I've done it myself. I even did free labor every now and then just to help a customer out. But I still took great pride in the work I did and made sure I did everything correctly. Thanks to that I got to where I'm at now. I wish I could same the same for some other Techs out there.
But back on topic, my experience has shown that repair manuals are very by the book. They will always tell you to remove something that you won't always have to. This may very well be the case this time as well.
