E30 transmission torx

I haven't done this job myself, but some friends did it and cursed about it
for a long time.  I think the trick is to use several long extentions along
the side/top of the transmission.  Also, an impact gun is probably the way
to go.  I think Steve at http://www.ultimategarage.com/home.html has a
special 1/2" extention, with a 3/8"male end for the small socket.
