But if you are going to give to the $tealer or an Indy, you might as well may just a few bucks bore and do the valley pan as well since it is right there. But i ready later your and avid DIY'r, you could prob do it yourself?!?

Ya this place is pricey for sure (esp for an indy). They mostly work on Mercedes but do BMW and Porsche also. I would love to DIY this one, but I've been putting it off for months because I haven't had the time and I just keep getting busier. It's been making a mess in the garage, and my parking spot at work is getting a little embarrassing with all the oil it's leaving behind. :D
I'm supposed to take in the X for a pixel repair next week, so I might just ask them to do while it's in the shop. If there is no price difference between and indy and the dealer, I'd rather take it to a place that looks at BMWs all day and not Mercedes. |
