Xi Suspension Install How-To's

Are there any Xi specific suspension install guides out there? Wasn't sure if the 335Xi install was any different from a normal 335i install or not. I am tearing into mine this weekend regardless, but it never hurts to have information if it is available.

The only difference between the i and xi is the half shaft in the front. If it falls out, just put it back in. I did mine a month ago and the only problem i ran into was the rears. Lining up the lower lateral arm was a pain. The alignment bolt wouldn't break so we had to remove the one attached to the hub. That was a huge PITA to line back up!
