I got the car last year and oh boy the tropical sun has not been kind to this car. In the last year I've done: DME (these things die from heat in EVERY N52 in my country), valve cover gasket, tensioner pulley, VANOS camshaft sprocket, VANOS solenoids, timing guide & chain, PCV Valve. Pretty much anything that could die from heat died, but with that being said I did all of them as preventative maintenance, so I'm not caught by surprise and the bills didn't sour my taste in the car at all. Hoping to keep her on the road for as long as I could!
It's good to get all those on a schedule if you know they are failure points!
Smart!
