While you have it apart, check belts, change water pump and hoses. I got mine done earlier this year only to find out someone had changed the lower radiator hose and put it on backwards so it occaisonally rubbed on the pullys, started leaking, blew the head gasket and cost me $2500 for a top end gasket set and a valve job (while it was apart, had 145K on the motor). __________________ Love ALL Bimmers.
