Smoke and smell

Looked at a you tube vid for my N 52 engine. I agree it's more complicated but the real kicker is that the vid says the valve tropic motor needs to be reset by computer. Does this mean that it has to go to BMW to do this?

BMW want £50 for the gasket. But they quote £250 fixed price to do the job. So I guess they charge 2 hours labour.

BTW. Roads in that part of Germany just a drivers dream. Hairpin after hairpin, up and down the mountains on smooth quiet roads. Spectacular scenery.

No the valvetronic motor will relearn itself. Lots of people have removed it on here and put it back without issue. In any case it’s easy to do a valvetronic adaptation reset on INPA. See here...

Just a quick thought. Could the oil be dribbling from the valvetronic motor. This would Seem an easier fix than the valve cover gasket.
