Good luck! If time starts to run out, you might want to consider an IR(R) followed by a single engine CBIR - it's less hours with no need to do the MEP course first. It's the quickest IR and you can always upgrade to ME it after the 36 month limit has passed.
If you do a 10 hour BIFM, the CPL is only 15 hours and the IR(R) is 5 hours.
