I recently bought my second 2003 Z4 3.0 Roadster after very much regretting selling my old one; life is now so much better!
I had an inspection done and a few things came up, including "replace the vanos oil feed pipe & oil filter housing gasket" due to oil leaks.
I'm thinking of doing the work myself but am wondering about replacing the vanos oil feed pipe. Is this a common issue as I haven't seen any posts mentioning it?
Do I need to replace the pipe itself or just some seals? Is it a fairly straight forward job or is there anything I should be aware of?
Do I get the parts directly from BMW? Any particular brand of oil filter housing gasket I should use?
Step by step instructions for both jobs would be very helpful.
Sorry for the ramble but many thanks to everyone in advance!
