thanks for the input - i decided to just buy a new oem cover and will try to get that completed this weekend. i wonder why the engineers at bmw decided to use plastic to begin with? there has to be some sort of r&d and made them go that direction and im sure cost as well. i got the valve cover in the mail day before yesterday and will probably order all the required gaskets and anything else that can reasonably be replaced today so they're all here by friday.
driving to work this morning and the car seemed to be running and idling a little rough. its still dumping thick white smoke from time to time on the highway - usually after a slight incline, in addition to an odd smell? im leaving again to work overseas for awhile here soon so i may just end up going a different direction entirely. ive been watching this closely for awhile now
