Replace valve cover gasket on 2009 X6 35i (N54)

I recently replaced the valve cover and valve cover gasket on my 2009 X6 35i. I decided to record the process due to I couldn't find any video's specific to our 2008- 2009 models. We have a turbo plastic tube near the rear passenger side that prevents us from simply removing the valve cover. This is an issue some later year models don't have (I don't believe).

I'm not calling this a HOW-TO video but rather to let others see what I did and how I did it, so that it may assist them when they attempt this procedure.

One thing I didn't cover in the video is that you should put some high temp gasket maker in the channels of your new valve cover before installing the valve cover gasket. This will make it a million times easier to get the valve cover back in with less risk of dislodging the gasket from the valve cover.

Don't hate on me for my poor video quality, inability to splice the multitude of videos into one video or my lack of editing the videos

Here are the painful to watch videos

Thanks for taking the time to record and share! Hopefully it’ll be a long time before I have to do this…
