Re: 2008 X5
5-10k is advisable.

Re: oil leak from vanos?
Can't rem. too many years ago... And prices might've shifted since.
So best just give your preferred BMW workshop, e.g. R2D in my case previously, a call.

Re: My E46 in the USA
Thanks for sharing.
It's great insight into the parallel culture of DIY in the States.
We do have a couple of local guys who roll up sleeves & do the same - but few & far btw.

the magic number.
alot of major svcing done around then.
