zip tied the wires to my tail lights together so they would work ( BMW told me my car is not part of the recall) the ziptie pressed them together just right but i guess i have to look into the DIY fix for the tail light issue.

I put a new set of projector's in my passenger side yesterday. Driver's side parts will be here next week. Today, if the mail works out right, I will be adding a new BMW performance knob to replace my tattered ZHP one.
On Wednesday, I dropped my car off at a shop to have the valve cover gasket done, new spark plugs put in, and the VANOS rebuilt with Beisan Systems anti-rattle kit and new seals. They also checked my fluids, put in a quarter tank of gas and plugged my right rear tire at no extra charge.
Pretty good shop. The price was right, too. 20% off. So it was only a little bit extra than if I did it myself (minus the cost of beer, headaches and frustration).
if you don't mind me asking, what was the bottom line on all that work?

Sure: it's about 600 in parts and labor for the seals and VCG. The spark plugs were an additional 74 bucks. So about 340 in labor and the rest in parts. With the discount it came to below 600 bucks.
Edit: This is in NC, by the way. I would imagine MD would be more expensive. TX may be about the same price.
