Hi all, I know there are lot of threads on this topic but most of them have an happy ending. Not in my case though. Recently noticed oil burning smell and smoke from under the hood and sometime based on the AC air intake inside the car as well. I've looked at the engine and did see some oil...

So I recently changed the valve cover gasket on my 08 535i to resolve an oil leak issue. No issues there except when I started the car for the first time the engine idled really weird. The idle would do short surges from 1000 to 1500 rpms and would not repond to the gas pedal. No codes were...

I'm looking at replacing the valve cover gasket on my 2002 530i. I keep seeing part listings that say they're intended for cars built after 9/2002. I believe mine was built just before that. Is there a difference in the valve cover gaskets for cars built before and after that month? Where do I...
