Hey guys, I have a 2012 X5 E70 that has been leaking oil. Had it checked out and was told the tapper cover gasket needs replacing. Bought the gasket set and the injector copper washers from BMW.
Took the car in and the mechanic could not remove the 5th and 6 injector so he put everything back together. Need to mention that he only tried with the engine cold.

Is there any that you can please recommend I can take the car to to replace the gasket. Based in edenvale so nearby will be first prize.

Thanks.

I had a similar problem on my old E53 X5 3l diesel and was fortunate enough to borrow an injector removal tool and slide hammer from BMW Donford in Somerset West (previously Helderberg BMW) I suggest in this case you take the car to the agents.
