So.....I love the L322...except all the issues
4.4L BMW V8...
Owned this one only about 6 months.
Started puffing smoke out of exhaust at startup. A few times while driving as well. (Mechanic said valve stem seals and doesn't have tools for it, quoted 30 hours labor approx).....$2,800 USD
Also getting a P705 Range Position trans sensor once in a while code
getting a loud squeal noise after decelerating and idle after 10-15 minutes running vehicle....which only stops after cooling down and shutting down for 30+ minutes.
I bought the truck for $4,200 so not a ton but still a good amount to me. Probably could dump it with all the issues for $2,500? But it is low miles and I like it.... only 112k miles 2003.
Also rear main seal has an oil leak.
I put in Lucas oil stop leak, and valve restore additives..no change.
What would you do in my situation (not that handy mechanically)
