I made a similar decision to return to BMW via E90 M3 and for the 1st time with DCT instead of manual, and to say I'm thrilled to be back is an understatement 
2011 E90 LeMans Blue purchased from 2nd owner who bought it from EAG  When you look up "meticulous" in the dictionary, you'll see a picture of the 2nd owner 
Congrats on the car and looking forward to your future posts  |
Looks like you've had a fun journey, I'll be sure to follow your progress. Blue is the best color.

I do plan on installing an Alpine tune and test pipes (with v-bands on the test pipes and cats), so that I can revert back to stock if I like. Perfectly reversible modifications. Cosmetically I'm not touching it, I don't even think it needs to be lowered.
The filter had me scratching my head too. I'm not sure what the factory interval is for the air filter. Regardless, it's fixed now.
