X5 head gasket1

[eurogreek1]

Took my car to the dealer yesterday because white smoke was coming out of he exhaust. Happened like a year ago and the dealer told me it was probably bad gas. Same problem happened last week so I made the appointment.

My X is a 2007 with 65k mile. Dealer told me that I needed a new head gasket for the price of $6000. Are they for real? My service advisor told me he would contact the local bmw rep to see what they can do.

Has anyone had bmw help out in these situations? I told them that the X only has 65k miles and it crazy to do this at this point. All service has been done at the dealer and they know I take care of it.

Any advise would help!
