Having been in this situation before, I might instead suggest asking about what you find unclear or wrong in the BMW installation instructions. With one big exception, I haven't read much that was "going by the book" as directed by the instructions. Why? Because the instructions assume you already know "the book" and therefore leave it out!
I think you might have an easier install if you were to ask more questions: to learn the missing book and some tricks and shortcuts you won't find in it. That certainly helped me. But to do that, first one has to become socratic, recognize one's ignorance and ask questions!
