My 107k mile, '07 335 needed this done. Symptoms were:

o Hard shutdown of engine during acceleration ( blips of shutdown, comes right back )
o CEL and limp mode.
o bad idle
o engine quit once while driving

I tried to get it from below but that was not going to work. Couldn't see anything from down there and the motor was hot, so that didn't help. So I went from the top like this thread suggested and had success. I taped my e8 socket to a swivel and extension to get the bolt loose, then pull the cable and unhook connector. Then had my wife help me with her small hands to get it back into position.

While I was there, I put in 6 new coils as well. Plugs were done at a few miles back.

The car runs like new again!!! No more stalling/CEL/limp mode.
