While we're in there for both replacements, is there anything along the way that makes sense to replace/clean/inspect?

VANOS unit and spark plugs if you haven't done them yet. I don't remember the procedure of getting to the oil filter housing gasket. If it wants you to remove intake boots, then you might as well check the lower intake boot for cracks and inspect your ICV while your at it. I know the alternator needs to be pulled to get to the OFHG.

Depending on how many miles on your ride I would consider replacing the CCV beings it's so much easier to get to. Wish I would of done mine when doing the OFH gasket.

Took mine to the dealer yesterday and they told me the DISA was rattling pretty bad and the oil filter housing gasket is leaking. I sold the car, so I bought the new owners the parts to do the repairs. Thanks for the links to the write up's I'm curious how hard/easy it really is. Quote for labor on the Oil Filter Housing was 4 hours!!!! Thats steep, lol

So that means that the X5 will be at the meet? I was looking into X5,s again last night but I would want the 3.0 since that's a motor I'm familiar with lol.
I did the Oil filter housing gasket on my car and it was 5 hours for me but I took my time.

Ryan, I havent decided if I'm bringing the X5 or 135 yet...we shall seeeee 3.0 X5 comes in manual tranmission...I highly suggest that route if you want an x5 and don't care about towing capacity. The 3.0 has less problems.

Yea wouldn't be towing, I would want nav at least and the face lift one if I got one.
