I saw that. Much much easier than the B58. You literally have to find a way to move the auxiliary cooling tank without spilling it, or you have to remove the coolant and then remove the hoses attached to it just to get the filter. That's not going to be good for BMW's notoriously fragile hoses and clamps.
