X5only is on a distinguished road
It's very difficult to change the driver side upper timing cover without removing the valve cover. I tried it and the gasket got damaged and I just gave up. Passenger side is easy without removing the valve cover. Out of curiosity, is the driver side exhaust smoking after extended idling and then the engine is revved hard?

By the way, it's nice to see pics of my engine used here
