BMW sequence of maintenance questions/advice

So I’ve got a lot of maintenance to do on my wife’s 2006 1 series....Brakes, struts and brake lines all around.

This is my first time doing this stuff.
Got all the parts delivered from Europe (thanks to Svandamme for the parts house recommendation).

What order (given that I’m a newbie at this) would you tackle the project?

My inclination is to do the struts first, followed by the brake discs and pads and brake lines last. Reassembling each component before tackling the next project.

But I’m curious what the more experienced members here think is the best way.

I hope I have all the right tools for the job. I do have a spring compressor and a brake bleeding tool. But I don’t have any air tools or electric impact tools.

Hoping to get the job done in a week, working a few hours a day.

Thanks!
