X5 35i N55 downpipe - help!
I'm trying to swap out the downpipe on my x5 35i, and there is zero access on this thing. I thought my 335xi was bad but this is horrendous. Any tips? I got the vband bolt loose, but it seems like the downpipe is frozen onto the turbo! The band clamp won't move.
Also, is it necessary to drop the whole exhaust to separate the downpipe from the rest of the exhaust? Thanks

I'll try that, it's just so damn hard to see and get tools up in there. I even took the back half of the wheel liner out to try and help, but that essentially did nothing for me
