I had a horrible burning oil smell that my local shop said was likely from the valve cover leaking, but he wasn't really comfortable fixing it. I went to a specialty shop about an hour away (still trying to avoid the dealer), and they quoted me about $1800 to change the valve cover and gasket. This car is 12 years old (purchased new), so I was wondering if this was going to be worth the money. I found a post on this site that mentioned his repairs were covered because he had an N51, so I dug into it and that's what I have too! Brought it to the dealership and mentioned the SULEV warranty. The rep just said "yeah, that's really nice. It covers a lot of stuff." They didn't change the cover, just the gasket, but it was completely free.
Probably saved at least $1200. Thanks to everyone at e90post!!!
Oh, by the way, I'm in Ithaca, NY and brought my car to Burdick BMW in Syracuse.
