Jazz, on this car does the ICV connect to a hose which goes into #4 on the picture or does one end of the ICV go directly into #4.

Excellent write up Jazz. My to do list and shopping list gets longer with each one of your posts. Do you have a local parts supplier other than the dealer? I use Bavarian Autosport, which seems to have pretty good prices and ships timely, but would be good to have someone local too. I don't know if I come close to your obsession for cleanliness, but I can get pretty darn obsessive compulsive myself. In taking apart my 911, spent many hours with my Dremmel with wire brush cleaning all sorts of tiny parts. Then spending hours picking tiny wire splinters shed from said Dremmel out of extremities.

I use BavAuto too but I get most of my stuff from ECS Tuning in Ohio. Their prices are usually on par with most of the main BMW guys and I like their website much better. On the ECS website, if you look up a part (say a heater hose) they're give you several options and show you the supplier for each. So you can pick from Rein, Febi, Genuine BMW or (ick) Uro. They also show how long it'll be to ship (same day if the parts are in stock, they show stock status and keep a ton of things in stock). Most of the other guys don't tell you who the aftermarket part is from, so you might think you're getting something decent like Rein or INA and end up with MTC or Uro.
Lots of guys love GetBMWParts, which is BMW of Silver Spring. Those guys are great if you need a genuine BMW part and can pick it up in person, but if you're ordering something to be shipped us MD folks usually get beat up pretty bad. Shipping can be expensive AND we have to pay tax since it's a MD sale. Most of my orders from them incur at least $20 penalty by the time it's said and done.

A few more bolts and the whole engine comes out. M54B30 is a popular swap. You know, while you're in there.

True and I even saw a vid on popping a vet motor in a similar slug

Parts day! I think I have almost everything now. Just waiting on the VANOS o-rings. I wasn't originally going to change them, but, you know, WYIT... So here's the loot - all new water lines, water pump, thermostat, p/s lines, gaskets, spark plugs, fuel filter, rear subframe bushings, and a headlight lens to top it off. $1300 worth of parts for a $1300 car.

And for thirteen hunderd more, I'll show Good Hands the DE door! Sung naked on a rocker on the porch staring at a rusty hulk with the engine in boxes...
