LOL...I emailed Winfred before i redid my waterpump a couple weeks back, he warned me about them tubes pulling out and messing up the O rings, I removed the pump *very* carefully watching and holding the tubes as stationary as I could to prevent what you had to do. At the time the bimmer was my only transportation too so I got real lucky.

the small wire going to the alternator is not only a bitch to get to but you are rolling the dice on if you can loosen the nut without breaking the lug off of the back of the alternator (i only have about a 50% success rate and i like to think i know what i am doing), so kill two birds with one stone and chop the single wire that's going down by the front of the left valve cover and splice it back when done

uhhh...whats the purpose of cutting a wire that dont need to be cut? I'm missing the whole point here I think.

Dang! And where does those hoses go to? Winifred, I once tried to take that engine cover off... seems to snag onto the throttle cable... any other tips beside these 4 nuts?
