Since a lot of the 4.8 owners use this forum, might be worth the effort to gather a list of those that have had the valve seal problem or are concerned their X is getting to that time that they fear it is going to happen to them and send a registered letter from an attorney with a thorough description of what has happened and what each have paid to have the problem fixed. Also saying that valve seals failing at less than 100,000 is not dis-similar to a door falling off---it just plain and simple should not happen. Even if something like this has already been done, I would do it again and request an explanation from BMW why they think this across the board failure is OK rather than something that should have a fix and that fix done by the dealer at no or parts only charge.
