Un très bon vidéo ! well explain and describe, you did not talk about were you buy and how mutch the cost of replacement part... found a winter project because mine to is leaking ! how many hour for all the job done ? Merci for all infos !
I tried to start doing the work but my car has a piece that sticks out between the central spark plugs and I will have to remove it too but I don't know if I will do it right, a great challenge 😁
@@JohnEngel I've unfortunately had to do this twice, both times took over 7 hours each. All the upper cowling stuff that has to come off, strut braces, even the windshield wipers. Do not recommend.
Lol. That’s how I say bad words and not get demonetized. Lol. I can’t wait to see if this solved everything. I’m ready to drive it and not just work on it.
This has an interesting aroma of “ hey look at me and how smart I think I am! “ oh yeah and look at all of the things I own, I feel sio important! Barf….
That's awfully cynical of you... I didn't get that feeling at all, rather found this simple, direct, and helpful. People who assume others act only out of selfishness tend to be those who do so themselves..
Just did mine today using your video. Super helpful! Just had to carefully pry using a flathead at my old gasket to get it off. Thanks!
Glad to hear that it helped. Thank you for watching.
Shnikies. I love your commentary during some of these. Never change.
Did you watch the part where I said, I wish I had Milledge here. Lol
@@JohnEngel Haha sure did. Let me know next time and I'll film!
@@Milledge.Austin lol. I always need help.
@@JohnEngel not always, but it's fun to help.
Great video, clearly explained.
Thank you so much.
Big help thank you for this video ❤
@@ips2477 thank you so much for watching.
Hi.
What bnw manual are you using as reference?
I was using ZPost.
Great video! Just curious your thoughts as to replacing the plastic valve body cover with an aluminum one?
@@hunterseufert8066 if mine was warped I would go aluminum.
@@JohnEngel Thank you!

Thank you so much. It took me about 1.5 hours. If I was to do it again, I could get it done in under and hour.
I really loved your video, I have the same problem and I don't understand why the mechanic wants to charge me 1500 to do that job?
Thank you so much. I totally agree with you. This should not be a 1500 dollar job. Glad this was helpful. :)
@JohnEngel thank you very much but I have a question my friend, when do we know that it is necessary to rectify the block cover?
@@amaurycubausa73 if you see any hairline cracks or if you put it in a flat surface and it rocks. They are known to warp.
@@JohnEngel very well thank you! I already subscribed to your channel 💪🏻

Wow. Soooo much easier than my E90. How long did it take you overall?
I know. I was surprised how easy it was. About an 1 hour total.

@@rwernest that’s makes this look like a cake walk. Lol
Did you take out the spark plugs or can you leave them in?
Just left them in. This would have been a good time to replace them but it’s not mandatory. :)
Why didn’t he show where to place the sealant…
Great point. I should have shown that better. You just apply it to the surface of the gasket.
Where is a good place to purchase gasket?
FCP Euro. :)
Schnikees?????

@@JohnEngel have faith young man. Think of this as your Lazarus project
A leaking BMW Valve cover gasket? .......🎼Tale as old as time,..
Exactly. Lmao.

Lol. I can see what you are saying and I hate that you feel that way. I truly love cars and that’s why I do it.
