It will be a day of downtime and doing my own labor. I changed the head cover not long ago. After watching the YouTube videos and determining 6/10 difficulty i decided to save $200 on the part.
It will be about 90 extra minutes to change the Valvetronic motor v the head cover but it'll just be one day out of service for the car.

That’s kindof how I feel. At this point I’m gonna grab a bag auto one from ECS along with the associated gaskets.
This is pretty frustrating because I just changed the valve cover gaskets 6 months ago when I replaced the engine. Ahh well the price we pay for owning a BMW.
My biggest concern is getting the injectors out. Heard some pretty crazy horror stories about that. But I’ll get the correct tool and take it slow.
Regrettably I’m on the east coast so no possibility of tag teaming
. Let me know how yours goes. I’ll keep the thread updated when I do mine.
Incidentally were you getting any clicks or grinding noises when you’d unlock the vehicle before yours failed? I was just getting one distinct “clock!!” sound since the engine has been in the vehicle so I had assumed it was normal.
Cheers!
