Just a few little updates.
A couple months ago, replaced the CPV o-ring (and CPV, since you have to buy it to get the OE o-ring). I later found out that there's a better material o-ring circulating m3forum, so I picked that up and used it instead. Apparently it won't ever have to be replaced again. Car seems to have stopped the occasional spurt of smoke coming from the exhaust manifolds, so I guess the CPV might've been been the culprit.
Had to dremel a torx socket to get the right shaped tool.

It's only a matter of time before the fabric peels away from the C-pillar, and my car's time came. Replaced those with new ones.

And finally got around to taking it in for the passenger side airbag recall - just days before receiving a letter about the driver's side airbag. Very nice.
