Thanks for the DIY! I did this today for the first time and it took only about an hour and a half. I needed to remove the cabin filter housing and air intake, but not too much trouble. I didn't need to double-up extensions, but did struggle with getting enough light down there to see what I was doing. To get the screw back in without dropping it, I just applied some scotch tap to the top of the screw and socket. Once it was in tight enough, it just pulled off.

I also order the Continental VDO (OEM) crankshaft position sensor and o-ring but from ECS Tuning. It was only $76, while the dealer quoted be at $225 for the part. I cleared the codes using a Bavarian Technic tool, and all is well.
