I dont have a gasser, so dunno. It is pretty common for people to damage the VTmotor when replacing the valvecover.
My 19 year old M5 (235k) is pretty much perfect....  an indulgence I guess, but if something breaks it gets fixed. |
Valvetronic park position has changed with updated DME firmware so this may well impact starting.
Agree that the boost solenoid should not impact starting - this is more to combat the intermittent CEL on WOT ( goes away after turn car on/off )
so I'm looking at 2 potential issues. I will also add possible fuel system sensors to the list of issues.
And yes. I too put my 2002 M3 6MT Coupe on a pedestal - before it was stolen . The X5 doesn't deserve the same status
