Why? It's written perfectly fine and at a level that any car enthusiast should either already understand or be able to understand with minimal research.
The compressor/bike pump is just for initial setup, it's not needed after that. One of the initial setup steps requires pressurizing the tanks, page 25 on this doc:

Once everything is set up, using the QuickJack just...
Same. This is all I use with my QuickJacks:

The medium blocks that it came with were fine when I was at the stock height, but once lowered about 1" I had issues getting them under the front lift points. With these low profile...
You don’t need the pucks with the quickjack, you can just center the large rubber pads that it comes with under the jack points on the car, it won’t damage them. That gives you a lot of slop when positioning things before jacking it up, it’s pretty fast/easy.
That wasn’t a joke, lol. It doesn’t have to be a bike pump, I just used my air compressor, but you need something to pump the cylinders up to pressure during initial setup.
It’s really not that bad. Time consuming yes, but not difficult. From a frustration/pain perspective, replacing the side reflectors was much worse. Cusco’s rear sway install doc goes through the whole process with pictures and it’s only 6 pages...
These cars get weird when the battery goes bad. Random shit that you wouldn’t think is at all related starts to act up.
My wife’s Mini (also BMW) is the same way, when her battery went bad the only indicator was that the passenger window stopped doing its little half-inch roll down when...
I talked with him a bit over PM after that message and got everything arranged. That was over 3 months ago though, and it’s been radio silence ever since.
You'll need ATF, and I needed to buy the low profile blocks to get under my lowered car. No need for adapters IMO, you can just lift with the pads directly on the jack points.
As was mentioned before, TX2K is going on right now, many/most tuner shops have been busy preparing for it the last week and are there now. I wouldn't expect to get a response until early-mid next week. Under normal conditions it'll depend on the tuner, but a turnaround time of a few days to a...
I thought about them, but didn't want to deal with having to press them in/out. Instead I just shortened the endlinks a bit and cut off the 3rd adjustment point on the sways so they weren't poking out into the LCAs.
E50 is fine on the stock turbo, but with a pure800 I suspect you'll have to lower the ethanol content for the fuel system to keep up unless you add port injection. That would be a good question for your tuner though.
He's working on the LCA/spindle joint at 21:50, that popped right now for me, no issues. The wrench/ziptie madness was for the ride height sensor on the driver's side. It's a little plastic arm and ball, there are no bolts or nuts, you just have to try to pull the ball out of the socket...
Brake fluid is hygroscopic, which means it absorbs water from the air. When brake fluid gets contaminated with water, its boiling point drops significantly. The recommendation is to flush the fluid every few years. More often than that if you track and need to keep the boiling point as high as...
