Valve cover gasket
I need to replace the valve cover gaasket on a 2000 328i and was wondering if anyone could offer any advice. Are there any other gaskets that need to be replaced at the same time? Is it a very difficult job? Oil is leaking onto exhaust and then smells inside car.

You need the rubber gasket/washers for each cover bolt, 14 of them IIRC.
Good time to replace spark plugs. Get a torque wrench and some RTV for the corners of the half circles. Easy job.
