I really appreciate all of the wisdom and experience this site offers. It has saved me thousands in repair bills and it has given me the knowledge to speak (relatively) intelligently to the service writers at the dealerships in my area.
I have had my 2000 M5 on jacks for 2 weeks, slowly plucking away at the project of removing and replacing the center bearing and guibo. I have been stuck for the last several hours trying to figure out how to get the exhaust system down.
Rear bumper is removed, rear exhaust system hangers, rear middle, front middle and header bolts / connectors are all removed. She wiggles but does not seem to want to release. I was going planning to buy a one day subscription to the bmwtis , but thought I would post the question here first.
I have spent hours reading posts surrounding this project, but I have not found anything that specifically speaks to tips or procedures for removing the exhauset system.
