I'm just shy of 52k on a 2015. I had been smelling oil burnoff for a while now and finally got around to getting parts and doing the job. Many thanks to all the forum folks who shared tips and tricks and helped me get up the nerve lol. This was the most involved repair job I'd ever attempted but afterwards, it doesn't seem as daunting. It seems like the gaskets turned out to be the source of the leak but I replaced the cover as well given the age. I used the store brand cover from autohausAZ. Great price and great fit and so far, so good after a few days of driving

Today I finally installed my eibach pro kit springs and KONI special active shocks. Didn’t get a chance to really test the shocks out but the stance is sooo much better. Wheel gap = deleted! Last edited by rlesko; 03-17-2024 at 10:05 AM.. |

I noticed a small difference turning into corners and mid-corner 'wobble'. Seems a tiny bit more stable with the strut. Every little helps, so mine is staying

I'm sure they'd give some bs answer like we make everything we can out of plastic to save weight, but I'm sure they don't mind all the money it brings to the dealerships

Front Lip and Side Skirt Extensions
Installed the front lip and side skirt extensions last night. This project's been on the list for a while but never seemed to climb up the ladder of priorities. That said, I think it finishes the front a little better than the standard M-Sport bumper does.

I know before the warranty extension, and this kit existing, some dealers would need to replace the whole Valve cover which this was a part of. Kern's video also mention that an aftermarket bmw parts site reported selling 100s of aftermarket diaphragm kits to a BMW dealership in Florida. Which leads me to believe that BMW didn't have enough valve covers on hand and they especially couldn't special order just the PCV cap parts on their own, hence why they had to order a special production cycle of these replacement kits... making them way more expensive to produce than they otherwise would, if this was made a separate replaceable part from the beginning.
