Dear all,
Just for sharing so we can all help each other benefit from this.
Problem:
I had white smoke coming out from my exhaust after idling for a few minutes and the engine consumes the engine oil.
It is estimated that I would need to top up 4L of engine oil monthly.
Solution:
I bought my own Valve Seals & Valve Cover Gasket from stockies in Kakit Bukit area and brought them to a workshop to change.
Please note that this is NOT considered a top overhaul. This is simply just a replacement of the worn off valve seals which caused the engine oil to leak.
Downtime:
Down time is within the same day, morning 10am till evening 5pm.
I went to cut hair, massage and shop around while waiting.
Feedback:
After the service, car feels more powerful, no more smelly white smoke. I am a happier BMW owner.
Please see attached pics for easy understanding.

PM me if u need to ask me for the stockies or workshop, it’s easier for me to reply.
Cheers~!
