about $60 each for the vacuum adapters and $25 each for the wands.

Any news yet on the Bavarian Autosport guys? I don't see anything for the 335d except for the media and starter remote switch.
according to the SI B11 03 14 you also need a crank pin:

and also socket for crankshaft hub. that i couldnt find anywhere online. Can anyone help ? maybe a full part number?

to do the job i guess you need to take off the valve cover. Do you guys suggest replacing only the valve cover gasket or every other little gasket as will listed in the SIB. because all that add another 150$.


btw, since i dont have connections at the dealer the cheapest online store for the parts above was http://www.bmwpartsupply.com/

the actual walnut blasting machine (35$) can be purchased at:

actual walnuts (25$). just not sure if fine or coarse grade is needed. suppose to be certain mm in size.

as far as bavauto goes, they dont have an ETA and that was about a month ago. Maybe they also want make a video (like 335i) that goes along with the kit which may take time .
