Morning Richard 

Depends where the job is carried out if you can get access to a ramp then not to bad, if you are doing it on the drive then doable but the Faff factor increases 

Good Luck

Errr obviously to change the Sub Frame all components attached to it need unbolting the engine needs supporting engine mounts undone any other components attached to the Sub Frame will need Support from above.

Take a look at www.realoem.com the exploded drawings are small but very useful to understand what goes where

      Air bag fault

      Hello Dave Thank you for the respose. I will try to locate the connector and clean them up. Could it be the head air bag and not the door air bag that is faulty? (BTW the car is a LHD). Considering there is no oil thermal sensor could the “Thermal Oillevel Sensor” be a faulty oil level sensor? I have tried to instal the 1.4.0 on my laptop but I gave up after 3 hrs in trying. I could not find the correct drivers for the software. Dimitri

      Air bag fault

      Hi Demitri Your car has an Air Bag in each door so front right would be in the Drivers Door (UK) Passenger Door (LHD) I would check the Loom connections continuity through the door it could be a broken wire in the loom (make sure you disconnect the battery first) The other faults could be as simple as a corroded pin or poor earth, the Thermal Oil sensor fault may clear when earths and other connectors are cleaned up Do you have INPA or BMW 1.4.0 they will help a lot Dave

      Drivers side wiper not flush

      Hey, Just seeing whether there is a common problem or if someone has an easy fix? My drivers windscreen wiper doesn't sit flush to the screen when moving, leaving patches on the glass. I have replaced the wiper blade, and had a go at bending the arm, but the problem still remains. Any hints or tips would be great appreciated.
