Mine has passed the intermediate lever test on the two occasions I've ran it. I never COULD find that damn date stamp they speak of! I remember looking EVERYWHERE!

I had the covers off almost 2 years ago now. Not much fun mucking with those things. I know the valve covers had been off before my ownership starting at 73k. I saw evidence of the aluminum sheathing around a tube on the drivers side had some scars on it that most likely came during the removal of the cover. Maybe I got lucky and they were done by BMW for the PO?

My X5 has a production date of 3/2005. Maybe I have a different issue?

Sounds like the issue wouldn't appear on first start but when it makes the transition from .6 back down to the minimum number 30 seconds after start.
