Nice, looks pretty simple and straightforward. Just gotta take your time. The ITB clamps come off real easy if you have a 6mm socket on a flexible extension.

Good job Pal!

Thank you for the DIY! I recently bought a 2011 BMW E90 M3 :D

[@stazzyjayy7346]

that didnt look so hard to do!! gave me spirit to one day own a unreliable e92 or e90 m3

[@rogermoore2365]

nice job I have a 2010 m3 with 35mils

Thank you so much for providing a road map. will attempt it this winter. I'm going to buy from FCP Euro for lifetime warranty

What's the silicone product you're talking about putting on the spark plug tubes?

[@johnhowardesq]

Thanks for showing me why I’m never getting one of those, and probably not any turbo anything, either. Long live my cheap and easy little e46 .

CatV cable in lieu of a wire hanger is a better alternative for pulling on the coil covers

[@supernovachampions]

glad you posted this... you affirmed my contentment with my inline 6. ill stick to my little 1 series N51 motor. DIY on that V8 looks grossly cumbersome. i am impressed by your positive attitude throughout the DIY though.

It’s actually Christmas while I’m watching 😬

It helps to take out the strut bars in the back and the air filters and so forth. Plus: while you have the plenum off, use the chance to use teflon spray/oil on the throttle body mechanics. Needs to be done once a year anyways.

Hey Josh where did you buy the valve cover bolts from? i checked on ECS Tuning and the total for 24 bolts was $200

[@JesusMartinez-bo7jz]

you got the part numbers for the bolts?

[@michaeleke6645]

Do you have to use new bolts? What's the benefit?

[@dart6731]

What kind of torque wrench did u use?

[@kmconti21]

curious why you didnt replace the covers while you were there ? i hear they warp and what not.

[@SpiffyDay]

Wow, I had no idea how nit-picky it is to have to buy spark plug tubes and each bolt.. If you don't mind, i'd like to know the total cost this was for you.. I have to do mine..

Did you replace your Vanos Covers?

[@ohhgourami]

Did you have to drain your engine oil first?
