Do note service department still needs to bill hours back to BMWNA, and BMWNA will not reimburse more than a few hours for valve cover gasket. Removing and reinstalling engine will take a few days.  |
Based on ISTA, if you're replacing a valve cover gasket, you don't need to pull the engine.
If you're replacing a cylinder head gasket, ISTA has you pulling the engine.
