As you guys know my motor was burning oil because of my valve steam seals. I also had the dreaded weep hole leak synonymous with the n62 motor.

The guys at Impressive took care of me and my car as always. Fraction of a price of a dealer.

Here is my journey. Take a look at the pics.

Wow, these pictures really bring that leak to life. I am glad it got all sorted out. Looks like they did a great job. How does it feel?

Me too it feels more responsive but it also feels like it needs to be "broken in" my mechanic said to take it easy for now though
