The fact that you have compression in both cylinders, and the fact that the engine misses only at idle but runs fine at high rpm I would just drive it and till it dies. It's a 19 year old SUV and the price has come down to the point that fixing the BMW will cost just as much as buying another BMW X5.

Can't argue with that. Solid logic. I've swapped heads on a couple M62 motors. Can't leave the header attached on the V8, that's a solid perk on the 6! If the rest of the engine is solid and the car is worth saving I would definitely do the head gasket. Probably including the timesert as described above. I would also do vanos refresh at the time. Anti rattle upgrade and if it's the same as M62, the o-ring upgrade.

Can you elaborate or pontificate on the anti-rattle and o-ring upgrades?
