Major Mechanical Turnaround

[Too__Hu///Mble]

Hello everyone, I am \\\M owner (E71 M). I'm usually around seeing what's going on in the community, appreciating and reading posts.

I would like some advice and opinions, my car will be paid off within the next month or 2 and I am planning a Course of Action in terms completing these repairs from most important to least important.

The fuel injectors are from index 11-12
(I did do the SB but not all were changed)

All ideas and recommendations are welcomed.

Thank you.

Injectors and coils would be wise, use Eldor coils from fcp euro if you want the best, do NOT use Bosch coils made in Slovenia.

Do all of you're crankcase Hoses, they will all fail due excessive heat trapped I'm engine compartment.

Ask him why turbos need to be replaced. That is a massive expense, looking at around 4k for it alone.

I believe I suffered from heat soak and the seals in the turbos are gone. I am not losing coolant but I am losing oil.

I am undergoing an oil consumption test, because I had a major coolant Issue which leads me to that hypothesis. I can be wrong, at the same time all the other reasons don't apply to me. I don't have no long trails of smoke etc...

I will take a look into what you suggested. I agree with your COA as well. Thank you for taking time to help out.

Happy New Years, My Brother!

if your turbo leaking oil try aftermarket chinese cartridges ebay item number 224136419947
replace not so heavy. cartridges cost $150 pair.
DIY about 3 hours. depending lower clamp bolt where looking.
better to remove generator. but I did without removing generator.
when assembling back pay attention to where looking exhaust and intake sides. if you turn/install wrong - pipes does not stand where they supposed to stay.

Oil consumption Test was performed and it was said my valve stem seals are bad.

In the process of getting the situation rectified.

Hopefully it works out in my favor. (Fingers crossed)

I would do the operational parts such as M Q R S. If the shocks are not leaking and feel good then wait.
