In response, I am not 100% happy with the hood yet, as Hornung pointed out, the gap over the headlights is killing me, Im contemplating shaving the sides down a hair more to get it to sit on the headlights more. On the upside, she just got a new valve cover gasket and new ngk iridium spark plugs today.
Capo di tutti capi
Well done on the maintenance. The hood will get there. It's just not done yet. That's all.

I noticed that earlier also, just assumed you were still playing with the fit of the hood. At least your gap is not as bad as this one, specifically look at tails, front is not as bad since he still has stock hood but front quarterpanel isn't lined up right

Thanks, I see what you are talking about, my mechanics discovered the valve cover gasket leak at JG Technik in Branford when they were installing my headers, so I ordered the gasket and plugs, little did I know they ordered them as well.

What exactly are the advantages of the iridium plugs? (I just replaced mine a few K ago with the stock NGKs)
If you haven't done the vanos kit yet you should prob do at the same time

As far as the vanos goes, I take my shop to JG Technik in Branford (A BMW Performance shop). They inspected my top end and said everything was still in great condition and the chains were still nice and tight. They also joked "dude, do you know you have zhp cams?!!!" For having 93k miles they are very impressed with the cars condition, even underneath, they were shocked to see that the diff bushing had zero cracks in it whatsoever. I guess not dumping the clutch and having a majority of highway miles really does pay off.
