Had to go after the oil filter housing gasket this morning.
Not a bad job, but a BMW job that needed to be done! 🫡

What now!
After a couple of hours of stop and go errand driving in 85 plus degree heat...I pull into the driveway and the normally smooth running m54 engine starts to shake and quiver backfire
Raised the bonnet...No burning smells, couldn't see anything from the OFHG area...no smoke, didn't bother to investigate more.
Had a good 2 months run of no problems I guess.

Yeah...I just PARKED it!
Kinda discussed with the thing for now. I crank it up and drive it around the block every 5 days.
At the start I do remember removing coil pack #3 and there was motor oil at the tip...I may need to do the V cover gasket?
IDK.

Yes let's see how long it lasts
This morning while driving with the roof open and me forgetting that I left the phone on top of the roof. I hit the breaks and the phone slid into the open mouth of the rear roof window.
Had to open the trunk and peel away the black rubber weather trunk strip to retrieve the phone.
Could have been worse.
