Its not too difficult. I had to change mine in my F6 in Spain. Should take about 20-30 mins to remove. Its a lot easier than a Nissan Terrano, which I had to replace the heater matrix on last month.

Heater matrix - (i) undo the Jubilee Clips holding the two hoses together (engine compartment just forward of the bulkhead). (ii) Remove heater assembly from inside car (10mm and 8mm nuts). (iii) Pull hard and the heater matrix will come away from the (previously disconnected) forward hoses.
GTL with only 20K on the clock and about to be cubed? Tragedy. Why not buy the whole car?
