2 days slow working. probably could have gotten it done in about 8 hours of solid work. we stripped one of the torx heads on the tranny bellhousing and stopped for the day to brainstorm and go to Hot Import Nights in seattle. ended up drilling the head off the bolt and pulling the tranny over the stud, there are 10 other bolts so i'm just goin to get a new one from a bmw dealer or performance shop sometime soon
