For those that are curious, this is pretty easy work. You don't have to drop the carrier on the front to access the spring over strut. Two strut bars under the hood have to be removed. Unlike the F15, the rear of the G05 is spring over strut. You will need to drop the camber arm on the rear, so have paint to mark the camber bolt. That paint pen will also come in handy to mark the strut position on the lower pinch clamp. ACS has a DIY in German here...

I can get all torque specs per TIS, so we have them.
EDIT:
- Torque specs for front suspension:

There could be a complication in the rear. It requires preloading the strut to insure non-binding using a special tool. All rear BMW I have done is coil in A arm, so I am not sure on this one. ACS notes nothing about preloading this bolt from suspension to camber arm and I have never preloaded a strut. I have axles, but never a strut. Any input?
Note, that many of the nuts and bolts are aluminum stretch bolts, so it is wise to replace them.
