The handbook is not of the quality produced by BMW in the past. Jobs at this level would have been completed using the standard toolkit. A list of the spanner sizes needed would be given for each task. A sign of the times we live in. BMW /5, /6 and /7 owners will know where I am coming from.

I think their prices are stupid plus shipping kills the deal.
I got my fender for more than 1/2 price the price listed on their site.
Another option would be to buy the R18B fender from BMW.

Good Luck...
