What a coincidence. My 2011 X5 50i is at the dealer for valve seal replacement
I have the same vehicle

Quote:
Its at 115k miles.
My is at 121,600 miles

I am the third owner still it was approved for valve seals replacement at NO cost to me.
I am scheduled to bring my car into the dealer service for a battery issue and a recent engine malfunction warning that has not reappeared yet.

Any suggestions for me going into the dealer for service with this car? I am looking into the battery service recall and maybe the valve seals if available to me.

My Service Adviser is a nice young chap. He told me they can do a lot of OTHER stuff at very cheap labor rates as the engine is pulled down for the Valve seals.

So I am taking advantage of the cheaper labor and replacing all the suspension control arms and ball joints . Also replacing Aux water pump and Thermostats.

Also replacing all the turbo return lines and coolant hoses.

Replacing coolant reservoir and power steering reservoir.

Plus I get a brand new 2020 X5 as a loaner for two weeks .

WIN WIN
I am going to BMW in Colorado Springs, CO and will be getting a loaner vehicle as well.

Could you give an idea to the cost for all of the extra work you are getting done with the valve seal job?

Thanks - PG
