Looks like fun. I just did head gaskets on a northstar. Looks similar to what you just did, I think we charged him ~20 hours total. I have an engine to replace next week on an 04 SRX, book time for a long block is 27 hours. It's surprising how much money people dump into cars that aren't even worth half of the repair (both my jobs are cash. Not warranty)

Did you have to go to a specialty BMW school before getting into a dealership? I had a friend from highschool that works for BMW. He went through some factory program then got a job in Texas.

Your 6th picture makes your bay look like a professional office. Our shop is straight from the 70's, we still have the old Visualine alignment rack from the 1950's.
