Parts came today and now the X3 is back on the road! The old valve was definitely toast and I can feel that the low end torque is back now.
This isn't a big update but I know when I look through other threads I like to see pictures, so I'm taking pictures of everything I do.


The German auto solution repair kit seemed worth the money since everything is made of aluminum and gets rid of any of the common failure parts. It was easy to install but I ended up having to use my old valve since the new one wasn't oem like I thought and wouldn't work with repair kit.
There was a package deal they offered with their 1.2 bar coolant cap. I love to spend money so naturally I bought it, plus a nice dress up part and cooler temps.
