21X3M40 wroteNo, it was very straightforward (I already had a pressure bleeder from previous DIYs). Only thing which was new to me was dealing with the air suspension system. It must be disabled before jacking up the car so the auto leveling system does not try to compensate.Any call outs for flushing the brake fluid you care to share.
Since I bought the car used I had no idea if the fluid was ever changed, and given its a 2020 model I wanted the peace of mind of knowing the services were up to date. I was surprised to find the fluid in the system was already extremely clean, I could not notice a perceivable difference in color to the new fluid. It was not a total waste of time though, as there was a little bit of air in the system that I was able to evacuate. And the peace of mind gained, of course!
rlesko wroteThanks for taking the time to reply. Indeed the peace of mind is worth it. Did you have to do anything special with the electric parking brake, as in place it in service mode or anything like that?No, it was very straightforward (I already had a pressure bleeder from previous DIYs).

21X3M40 wroteNot necessary to deal with the parking brake for a caliper bleed. I did discover my pads were quite low so I will have to do a brake replacement soon and mess with the electronic parking brake. Planning for F95 brake retrofit - front calipers have been acquired, waiting on a good deal for the rearsThanks for taking the time to reply. Indeed the peace of mind is worth it.

Couldn't take it anymore, ordered ScreenProTech.Instructions on-line are good but could use some additions
This is a good video to start.
Things I added:
Dust cloth to clean interior prior to install
Pump bottle of glass's cleaner (dilute alcohol)
Blue painters tape so you can keep from touching back of film during wetting and installation.
Went well, there is some spotting but I suspect (hope) it will go away with evaporation.
