OMG I’ve been a mechanic for 27 years and that trick to remove oil from the plug hole is amazing. When I did my valve cover gasket on 2011 328i I just used the old long skinny screwdriver and rag trick with a lil carb cleaner. This is my first BMW and let me tell you I absolutely love love love my car. Even at 138,000 miles it drives like brand new and still hauls ass.

Always great to see when ppl are real enough to admit to those tiny little mishaps that we all do, like forgetting to reconnect that ground wire or replacing the o ring on the coolant hose. People like to edit that stuff out & appear like a day & 1/2 job took 20 some mins, but if you wrench at all you know that's just not realistic. I got an m272 equipped Benz thinking I'd never have to do valve covers. I was wrong, & it literally took me all night. But when it's done, life is def good. Respect!!

I bet that’s such a relief to have that done! Nice work

Respect to the guy that did all the work...coming from Tennessee, now that's what I call customer service...but doing all that replacing for leaks, the coolant temp sensor should have been replaced; and the mickey mouse flange upgraded to aluminum, since it was removed for the gaskets...but overall respect

This guy is a MVP for sure!!

Diy repairing could be really stressful. My 1st BMW and my first repair was timing chain and valve stem seals. The cost of diying this was around 300$ but BMW service would have been over 2k$. It's great to diy when you buy a new car so you can change everything needed to along the way and you get to know your car better :)

Hey I just asked my friend who appears in the video. he said you have to hold the Valvetronic motor to the gasket and screw the worm gear into the valve train with an Allen key. then tighten the bolts that secure the valvetronic motor to the valve cover. Turn the vehicle to the ON setting without starting the engine about 4 times then start the engine to reset the valvetronic motor

Consider changing that plastic flange from the thermostat to the engine with a metal flange, its $14 on amazon i believe...that flange will break without warning it happened to my 335i and can leave you stranded depending on where it decides to give out.
