The car needs special attention because of the n62 engine - not the most reliable.
Those who have experience with the BMW N62 platform, are there any major issues that can’t be prevented with regular scheduled maintenance? I have heard they are bad for going through valve seals.

I charge $1500 normally but ive decided to give redditors a $420 discount. So redditors are pay $1080 for labor
I do diagnostics and repairs on anything. I don't mind giving advice either.
I am located in Austin, Texas.
If you want to talk about your car, Pm me for details
These are all the parts youll need for a basic valve seal job: http://m.ebay.com/itm/131283226107?nav=SEARCH http://m.ebay.com/itm/151357248180?nav=SEARCH A word to the wise: If you let the smoking go on to long, you'll be looking at secondary air issues, and catalytic converter failure. Meaning more money on parts and labor.
TL;DR: I fix valve stem seals on bmws, if you are a redditor, I will knock off $420 of of the labor price. PM me.
Hi all! I might e making the treacherous switch from Audi over to the BMW world! I’m looking at a 2004 745Li but it supposedly needs a new left control arm as well as brake lining? (Does this mean the brake lines need replacing, or something different?) how much would work like this typically cost, and is it realistic to buy for someone who isn’t looking to buy a problem car, so to speak??
Would this car pass state safety inspections (MA, USA) without the work being done first? I know that the windshield needs to be replaced in order to pass but that’s not a big deal.
What are your thoughts? Comments? Concerns? I’m not very knowledgeable about cars and repairs to begin with, so any advice is greatly appreciated!!
Do your worst!
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂
It really does, I swear!

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
When I got home, they were still there.

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.
Daughter: I'm hungry
Me: nerves building, smile widening
Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.
She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.
Thank you all for listening.
