Need Help Installing BMS tune

So I just bought the BMS tune for the X5M and I'm looking at how to install it but I'm just having a tough time figuring it out. I had a BMS stage I and Stage II tune in my 550i but for whatever reason I'm just having trouble with installing it in this platform. My main issue is how to get access to the TMAP sensors. The one's I'm looking at are buried beneath plenty of hoses and cables and would require me to remove the strut bar in order to get enough room to touch them. Could somebody help me out?

Took me a while to figure out the install for the N55. I don't know how different the M is. Good luck. If it's the same, let me know and I'll try to post some pics or find a guide that I used.

You might want to reach out to Jon at jon@burgertuning.com first. He should be able to help.
On a side note I have a 35i with BMS Stage 1 and the install took about an hour. I removed the air filter/box and that made the process a lot easier. I also broke the tab on the TMAP sensor using the USB plug as a tool so be careful with those tabs, they break real easy.

I think I figured it out, I had to remove the front strut bar and push a lot of the hoses around. A little more effort than my old 550 but overall it worked. Only thing is after all that I realized they sent me the wrong harness so now I have to wait for the right one to come in
