LOL Nothing against the Bimmerfix, in theory should be a nice fix, just didn't hold up on my end. In it's defense, I didn't allow the amount of time I would have like to let the sealant dry as I needed to make the trip back home. It says 24 hours but I would have preferred at least 48.
Either way, I would feel more comfortable with the AGA method. Seems like a true permanent fix.

 The benefit of the AGA kit is you are guaranteed to take care of the valley pan gasket at the same time. With the Bimmerfix kit... you don't know if you have a leaky crossover pipe or a leaky valley pan gasket, or both.
