Well at 112k km my N20 already changed the VCG twice. Once under warranty at 60k-ish km and one at 100k-ish km. The latter I was using Elring instead of Genuine BMW.

Without any doubt you’ll need a valve cover gasket replacement, make sure to get the bolt grommets and go with an Elring

I did an Elring one about 8 months ago... it's now started to leak. Talked to my indy shop, and they said they have had problems with most of the brands within a year and only go OEM. Wish I had.

Cons: started to leak
