Recommendations for shops to do OFHG

N55xi · 10-24-2018, 08:26 PM

Does anyone have recommendation for shops to do my OFHG and oil cooler gasket? I had it done last year but it seems to be leaking again after 7k miles. I'd attempt a DIY but I am worried after reading about some people's engines seizing after improper installation.

Where are you located?

Did you use a torque wrench when tightening the bolts? It shouldn't leak so soon? Genuine BMW gasket used?

Thanks for recommendations!

Ended up taking the car to Advanced German Auto in Metuchen as they were close to me and could do it the same day (about 5 hours). They had great reviews too. Hoping this time it lasts more than a year. If anyone is wondering, they did it for $540 cash, $470 labor and $70 parts.

For the OFHG and Oil Cooler gasket? Waaaaayy too much moolah lol

I figured it was high but It was the lowest I found of the shops I called. My local mechanic didn't want to touch it because you needed to move the intake manifold a bit. The other shop I called quoted $658 with tax and dealer was $900 plus tax.

You got taken for a ride. That's basically dealer rate and the dealer will give you a free loaner and a 2 year warranty on the work. Hopefully they at least used a genuine BMW gasket so you don't have to redo it in a year or two.
