I was worried about the valve noise, so I took the car down to the local BMW shop. They went over it and replaced the tensioner. Between that and the oil change the noise is gone. Could have done the tensioner myself, but given the noise I didn't realize it was such a simple fix. However, while I had it down there I had them go over the car and do a compression test. Came out about 150 across the board with none out of tolerance. Of course they identified all the little items I knew needed replacing, but nothing new and the engine seems to be healthy and ready for another 50k+.
Also had them do the plugs as they were non-stock. Total was $415 out the door. Not cheap, but good for peace of mind.
Now it's time to get down to work, next on the list is the valve cover gasket, and motor mounts, and brake system flush, then I get to go to town on the suspension.
Running total: $2965
