2014 X5 engine oil leak- valve cover replacement
Hi,
I took my 2014 X5 for service today. The BMW dealer called and said there is a lot of engine oil leak and needs valve cover replacement, it's a fire hazard. They quoted $2200 (before tax). Is that reasonable? I have 100K miles.. In addition, I have rear breaks (I was getting brake lights on the dashboard) replacement cost $1160 So, Engine valve cover replacement costs $2200 and rear breaks with rotor $1160 - a reasonable cost ? Please let me know. Thanks |

I can do a few exterior things but changing the valve cover is something I don't want to take the risk of doing myself. Additionally, I don't have enough tools etc.
I thought about going to external BMW places but I don't know if they are trustworthy or will do a good job. So, stuck with the dealer. I wanted to know if the dealer is overcharging... |

I have same leakage on X5 35d. Not uncommon. So far I am waiting for an opportunity to fix it as it requires the injectors to be removed. It is a small leakage but overtime creates a mess.
Not sure who bad is the leakage on your case but asking myself ... if this is a fire hazard why BMW didnt issue a recall to fix it? Looks like standard labor for this job ~ 5.6hrs @ $200 = $1,120 + $50 parts -> fair price would be ~ $1,200 |
