This is the one special tool you'll need depending on the brakes. My 50i M Sport does not use a 7mm hex bolt, as most/all other BMWs seem to. It's 10mm, and that size is nearly impossible to find.

I have a thread on here about painting my calipers which I did this Spring, I go into more details there.

Otherwise, yup, super easy.
