Our site below has three DIYs in the powertrain section that may be helpful. Good luck.

i have a 2008 R57 S Turbo.. i take it all of these instructions are the same???
take it all off, one piece at a time.. if you have 4 days it will be ok?? and fun
i looked and all i saw were hoses and wires.. but reading this i feel it to be fun
I changed the water pump and main belt.. I also changed the oil pressure line to turbo and that took 3 days. took entire front end off.. 5 minutes to chg pipe..
