Sorry wasn't trying to start drama on here. I figured since the X is in the 200k range its about time to get them out anyways. I was just hoping to be able to get some miles from it before having to worry about this. :(

Valve Steam Seals Replaced (He states - cheap about 2K)
Victorious!! My smoking 645ci convertible is fixed! and whats even better it didnt cost me an arm and a leg. Luckily there is a well experienced an trusted technician here in the bay area (CA) that is able to do the job. J&B Superior Auto Repair (Jose) mobile mechanic. I highly recommend him to anyone experiencing the same embarrassing problem or other heavy labor job.

This website has helped me out tremendously and I thought I should return the favor by passing on this excellent resources thats extremely affordable.

Let me know if theres is anyone thats seaking this help, ill be glad to pass it on.

Don't be its all good! I know how it is to have those days trust me!

I take full responsibility to this. I should have been a little bit more clear on why I was wanting to do this. Helihover specified this is a common issue on these 4.4's and its not only just X5's but 5, 6 and 7 as well. He probably assumed you knew. But as stated I take responsibility for not clarifying why I was pulling the trigger. So I think we should just shake hands :high5: or high five and squash this! Everyone has bad days. :beerchug:

So I live in Reno Nevada and travel to the Bay Area occasionally. I am looking for a good shop within driving distance to get his done on my wives 4.8is. It is smoking at 96k and I need to get another 20k out of the car prior to trade in. Any suggestions is the shop noted above an actual shop or just a mobile mechanic?

I don't see that you need to take responsibility. You didn't start the snide remarks and name calling. That's where the trouble started.

Im just trying to keep the peace! :thumbup:
