Default Finally Back in the US and looking for help.

Well I just finished my 1yr tour in the desert and have finally got back in the states.

Its great to be home but I want to finally install some parts I ordered while I was away.

I don't know why but i cant seem to find any how to threads.

I need to know how to do the following

UUC bushings for the engine and trans

the UUC shifter with the bushing option

the Suede shift ****

The center arm rest from the reg CTS and how to both get the old one off and this one on

How to swap out the front emblem?


I will have access to a lift and a fully certified BMW tech with 8yrs experience but I would like to do as much research as possible.

Also Im going to do a full tune up as well...

What plugs / oil are the best for the 05 Vs?

The trans mount is very easy to do.
You will need a Torx T47 to remove 2 bolts.
This may help too.
