So I took my 01 bmw x5 4.4i to get it inspected all around engine, suspension etc.. the list they give me was huge in my opinion, on what needs to be repaired. Im hoping someone here might have an idea on what I can repair myself and what I can't. How much it would cost me in parts alone and such. Considering the fact that they said the estimate would be upwards of 10k. Heres the list:
1. Both valve cover and upper timing cover gaskets leaking
2. Recommended tune-up, spark plugs and filters.
3.Valley pan and thermostat are leaking
4.Power steering reservoir, suction line, return lines,high pressure lines and pump are leaking
5.Water pump is leaking
6.Transmission oil cooler leaking coolant
7.Both drive belts are cracking
8.Left outer tie rod has play
9.Front crankshaft seal is leaking
10.Right cv inner and outer boots are leaking
11.Rear subframe mounts have collapsed
12.Recommended wheel alignment
13.Front control arm bushings have play and cracking
Quite the list huh
