X5 left valve cover gasket fix only or more
So, I am in two minds with something. I have a leaking left valve cover gasket but the other side is ok. The left timing cover gasket is almost there for leaking but still ok. I understand you have to take off the valve covers to replace the timing cover gaskets? Is this correct? So, let’s say I replace the left valve cover gasket and a bit down the track the left timing cover gasket needs replacing. Do I then need to do the whole job again.
I am also thinking of cost and time. Doing it all (both left and right VC covers, gaskets, both TC cover gaskets, vanos solenoid seals, coolent transfer pipe fix (the easier way), etc is not cheap plus the car would be out of action for some time. BMW valve covers are also quite expensive. Just on a tight budget at the moment and yes I have been told: then don’t by a bmw X5. However, I have grown fond of it. Is this the curse of this model? ) At the moment I dont have a full time job so cant upgrade just yet. Any thoughts?

Yes, its seems like the case. But I will restrict myself to only doing one side at a time. I am going to have to get another valve cover which is a pain. I guess I should replace the pressure regulating valve as well while I am there and the vanos valve gaskets. So, I need some silicon lube for the spark plug tubes and grey rtv sealant for the vgc.
The other pain is I have a rear main seal leak but it is only minor. cheers
