Have you ever gotten an answer to this? I know the topic is over a year old. I am considering buying the tools from BMW and doing it myself with at my dad's shop. I need to replace the intake gasket and oil filter gasket to take care of some leaks, so I figured might as well do this at the same time.

I'd be willing to also get mine done if someone has a place, group session/buy?

How bold of a DIYer are you?

My father owns a fully-equipped repair shop in the area. I'm considering buying the tools and doing mine myself, and either renting the tool to help defray the cost or flat out working with one of his mechanics, having them learn, and having them offer it as part of their regular menu of services. PM me if you want to discuss further.

Anyone else know of any shops in the area that might already be doing this?

Know anyone around here that can do a valve cover gasket for my 335is? Just moved to this area and it needs done. I got to do rotors and pads too.

I am interested in getting this done in PGH as well.

We are a little bit away from PA depending where you are. We're 20 minutes or so from the PA border.

But, if your willing to take trek out here, shoot us a call @ 973-545-2727. Or text 973-493-2886. We'll surely give a great deal to anyone making the trek out from PA!.
