Re: Why was that not a warranty item?
Re: Value cover gasket at 47,600 miles I also needed a valve cover gasket at 48K on my '06 325. It was covered under warranty in full. I may be an exception in that the dealer found 2 of the 16 cover screws broken, (could only conclude that this happened in production). Needless to say, they were embarressed by this. The solution was a heli-coil kit that came from BMW, because of this the repair took almost 2 weeks to complete. Inskip BMW (RI) provided a BMW loaner at no charge during the entire time. After 8K miles there's no oil leak, everything is fine. I imagine that BMW is aware of this issue. My advice is to watch for leaks, I found mine with just a visual inspection.

After 500 miles the gasket is holding strong. __________________ Let (Make) Them Come To You!!! 2006 e90 330i l Jet Black l Dakota Black Leather l Sport Package l 6 Speed Manual | Logic 7 2006 e90 325xi l Sparkling Graphite l Grey Dakota Leather l Premium Package l Steptronic Retired - 2004 e83 X3 & 1999 e39 528i

Of course the $695 charge is an inflated charge from a dealer. DIY's here describe the job as much shorter than that. There may be some honest BMW dealers when it comes to billing by the hour, but buyer beware in most cases.
