Just did my '08 335xi. One tip I got gave me the extra room I needed. However, I had access to a lift at an auto hobby shop and that was all I needed.
Really easy actually. Disconnected the left side of the power steering and coolant hoses, dropped the sub-frame, supported it with a screw jack, that gave me all the room I needed. With a few universal joints attached to my ratchets and a long screw driver, was able to disconnect and replace all the parts in no time at all. Since it was my first time, took me 5 hours but, was well worth the time that saved me $1,000.00. Parts cost me $550.00 for the kit; BMW water pump, thermostat, bolts, BMW coolant, distilled water.
