Replaced leaky valve cover gasket, installed new plugs, replaced VANOS with rebuilt Dr Vanos unit. Would have just installed new O-Rings, but without a table vice I was willing to pay an extra $190 for the full unit. Everything went well, and I took my time as it was my day off and I needn't work as if I was on the clock. Currently at 74K.

Installed harmonic balancer after mine seemed out of round. 4.8is is the best car to work on. 1 hour start to finish. Fan comes out in 1 min, on clips. So much more space. Very easy job.

Well today I accepted an offer and the new owner will be picking it up on Monday and driving it to its new home in Colorado.

I really hope I'm not making a mistake since I love this truck so much. I ordered a new car a few weeks ago and it's set for European delivery in September.

My new ride will be a 2013 535i xDrive with Msport and nicely equipped with many other options.

It's been great hanging around this forum for advice and DIY's as well as just understanding my rig more. Maybe if I hate my new car I'll be shopping for another '06 4.8iS

All the best!

Oil change and fluids top-off, and a full tank of gas.

Removed over 4oz of wheel weights on my front pass tire, rebalanced and replaced with 2.5oz. Still have a shimmy at speed so lower control arm is next.

I just bought this car about a week ago. It's been driving great and everything works.
I parked it out on the patio and the right front tire was down in a small indentation (2-3") now the front suspension is sagging. The passenger side a little worse than the driver's side. The car doesn't have the adjustable suspension option. Will it correct itself? Had the car thoroughly inspected and everything was good. Have ltd warranty from seller.
