+1 on the above.
I just changed the bags myself and car went back to normal job done.

Satnav update weirdness
Your lucky it updates. A new to me E90 with the CIC system fails the update at 58% no matter where i get the update file from. Stuck with 2021 maps so tom-tom it is. Have you had a look here for any software updates - in case that’s the root cause? https://www.bmw.com/en/footer/software-updates.htm...

"Windy Guns"
Had a Milwaukie one for some time now and it's a godsend for me getting on in years plus semi disabled.
It wasn't cheep but it takes the same battery as my other tools so made sense o get it.
But i still use my torque wrench to finish the job.
