I also have a some bookmarked M57n2 rebuild videos and again they take a blow torch to those same bolts as they must be prone to snapping but at least the chaps willing to do it for you.
I'm not sure where your from, but I take my BMW to BestTurbos based in Oldbury, they're specialists in BMW turbos and the guys there (Lucas and Martin) are awesome people. They'll take pictures and talk you through it all if your sceptical, they offer free diagnoses and 2 years warranty on parts and labour and of course as Rasa said this could be the perfect excuse for some Hybrids!
Glad your getting it sorted though mate, you don't have AA parts and garage cover do you? they put £500 towards any repairs and you can tell them where to drop it off as long as they're VAT registered, I got mine dropped to best turbo and cost me £220 after AA sent £500 cheque for a new turbo, seals, service, intercooler clean etc

Yeah he was saying too that it is a big job! But yeah glad I ain't doing it lol.
Also, I am talking to ecotune in Glasgow. I've heard good things about them so lets see. I'm in Manchester but willing to make a long trip if needed! Nice one though.
Not got AA though...that would have been nice!
