2007 BMW 550i



Stock View:


Nobody else likes my front license plate, but it makes me laugh every time I read it.

Going into the garage to fix oil leak and engine smoking. This is before I got started, a stock BMW 4.8L v8


Replacing Valve Stem Seals:


My parts table, needed to stay organized so I knew what things were

New valve stem seal in place

Old vs new valve stem seals

Replacing the valve keepers, steady hand required.

Looking pretty clean now!

Timing adjustment. Engine to top-dead center, tool aligned the camshafts

Water pump pulley started having issues, so... new water pump.

Engine bay after project was done.

Fixing the sagging, dirty, old headliner :


Headliner removed from car.

Back in, black.
