Well if the valley pan gasket is leaking it will be quite a bit of labor since the heads gotta come off. I know just for the water pump people get quoted in the $900-$1200 range or so including parts.
You should probably replace all your coolant hoses, thermostat, and belts as well. I just spent $425 on this and will be doing the job this weekend hopefully.

On a V8 the heads do not need to come off. What needs to come off is the intake manifold. I just went through the same thing with my 2001 4.4 X5. Using all BMW parts, including the following it cost me $2200 = $1000 labor and $1200 parts.
1. Waterpump (and gaskets) 2. Thermostat 3. New valley pan (updated style) 4. Intake gaskets 5. Injector gaskets 6. Upper, lower and middle radiator hoses 7. Oil change 8. 2 new O2 sensors (went OEM Bosch verses BMW - just couldn't justify the extra $125 a sensor for the BMW logo) |

That is a big job... but you can get the radiator cheaper yourself as well as the waterpump. I got my radiator from here for half of what they quoted you... and it is a good qualith radiator. (I got it over the OEM radiator at employee cost) I'd see if you could search down the parts at a better price and just pay their labor, you could save a couple hundred that way.

I take it that rad is not OE? Wonder if it is more efficient?

Could always get the Zionsville aluminum radiator. Works great on the race car!

Thanks for the info guys, I really appreciate it. I'll probably shop around for the parts myself, and see if I can save a little money...On the upside, I LOVE the car! Got a good deal on it (other than this issue). One owner, 89k miles, new tires (20", as you know) clean carfax, maintained with extended warranty up to 72k miles through BMW. Very clean. Doesn't look like anyone's every sat in the back seats...Got it for $17k! The indy shop looked it over and only found a couple of small issues (other than this issue).

Buy the Bentley manual so you have a step by step way to take it apart and put it back together. Digital pics will help you remember where things go too. Take it slow and things will be fine.
