I DIYed my 520i's plastic Cylinder Head Cover two weekends ago, due to the usual oil leaks draining onto the exhaust manifold and burning up on startup. Took me about 8 hours in total. The new cylinder head cover and new oil cap cost me about $485.
In hindsight, I should have just replaced the gaskets only. I now have the old cover in hand which appears to be still on good condition and had done 123,000 KM. Anyone wants to have it for a small sum? Else will send for recycling, before the wife knocks me on the head with it.
