Taking the glovebox out makes that job a lot easier.

Iirc I've gone through the engine side with an extension. Make sure you change the o rings, there are four to do both pipes. people will recommend using the gen BMW ones, although they have replaced the part with normal radiused o ring compared to the original flat type, so any quality o ring will do the same job imo.

Those nuts can be undone with an appropriate size ratchet ring spanner, or by a short extension from a 1/4" socket set.
