Truthfully, dealers are always the highest repair cost. Also truthfully, now is the time to correct it.

Make a few phone calls to reliable shops and shop for pricing...2-300 seems about right for an average local shop.
 
that seems a little high. Valve cover gaskets are pretty easy to repair. I could do both sides myself within an maybe 45minutes
 
...How soon should I get it repaired..? Dealer quoted $526.00
How much would that be if I had it done at other mechanics in Naperville, Illinois.
Thanx... Luv ya all..
 
beamers are expensive to have maintained. Probably about the same any where you take it if they work on bmw's
