Anything I should be wary of, I have a cracked right hand exhaust manifold and a good 2nd hand replacement.
I presume it is just a case of "soak in penetrating oil, undo nuts and bolts, new gasket, replace the 2 awkward snapped studs (that always happen on thse jobs) and refitting is the reversal of removal".
Yes?

Anything special to note about bleeding the cooling system, or just put the heating on full and slowly fill. I ask because BMW's need a head of water to force the air out.

just fill up with 50/50 mix and squeeze pipes and start and run till fans kick in with cap ON or will chuck water all over ! then check level when cooled a bit :y
