Having the 'Levers and Valve Stem redone.
 

So I was looking into having the Levers on the cylinder heads redone by BMW dealer, they wanted $4100 ,to do the project, I asked about the Valve Stems job, they want $7671, THAT"S F-CKIN $11771 for a problem from SIB .
I am having Mspec doing both the projects for $4600 .;)

After only 65,000 miles?

78k now,but if the levers are a SIB ,so if they where going to do the Levers might as well fix the other time bomb in the enigine,price is right ..........plus piece of mind[I hope].

Good plan!

Just curious why your heads are off the car already?

Not mine,I did some research on MSpec in queensNY, That is from Mspec home page,and they did that work this month.............so they have experience doing engine work.
I gone through a bunch of BAD SHOPS with my 4.6is and was taken to the cleaners and ended up with a broken X5 and having to pay K$.

Do a little more research I did mine myself it did not cost that much or if you want a shop do it for you check out MNC Performance they do it all day every day. Good luck I can tell you its very time consuming. The kit the dealer sells to do the heads should run you $800.

This is who did my heads for me machine world. About Machine World NY this is who the dealer use for most of there jobs.

Dayamn. Good luck. I think when the time comes. I will be buying the tools to do it myself and pray for the best. Let us know how it goes.

wow... i was quoted $8400 to do levers by an indi shop... it will be cheaper for me to drive across the country and get it done in NYC... you get screwed when it comes to pricing up here... :(
OP keep us posted on your experience...

Which indy shop do you go to?
