Why BMW chose high strength thread locker on those tiny bolts (capscrews) escapes me. I put them back in with anti-seize.

Other than that, best of luck and enjoy!

I did the cam tensioner - mostly because Chris Harris’ YouTube channel made it look simple as pie.

Where did you pick up the brake line kit? I replaced the rear disc and pads today and the lines are disturbingly soft in spots. I checked beemer boneyard and seemed to find only used brake lines.
