    2012 X5 valve cover gasket

    2012 X5 35i e70 Miles 75k
    I'm going to change the gasket myself but i'm not sure what else i'm suppose to change.

    I recently had the one in my 535xi change. But they also change some other stuff to so i'm not sure if I have to do the same in my X5
    1. Valve Cover assembly
    2. Gasket
    3. Spark plugs
    4. spark plug tubes
    5. breather hose

    I'm thinking about getting a after market valve Cover assembly for $180 vs $450 Oem

    These guys at BimmerMerchant made a video of the taking apart of an M62 engine.

    You'll get a good view of it, see which gaskets you need and it'll surely help you get'er done.
    Hope it helps.
