I have an extended warranty, and dealer replaced both as well as the coolant hose (which oil had leaked onto).

The above sounds like standard N5X maintenance once the engine approaches 75-100K miles.

Question: How many replace their Valve Cover being that it is prone to crack around 100K ?

I think I will be replacing mine this time on the N55 -- where on my N54 I just change the VC Gasket. Which leads to the next question : Which Brand of Valve Cover to purchase???
