Think you need to take some time and relax

Blown valve covers are not uncommon at all, on any model of vehicle with miles on it. While people tout the Highlander and such, these are POS if you want any form of luxury. We routinely get one when the Bimmer is having work done and every time I can't wait to get back to the BMW. There is no BMW in existence that is a 'good buy', they are all over priced for what they are...vehicles. And yes, you could have bought something else that probably would have lasted longer. And if you happened to buy it used without a warranty...which I don't know is your case...your bad.
