So far the New Generation engines have been fairly bullet proof mechanically. Most of the problems have all been software problems, but usually if there is a mechanical issue, BMW knows about it and has a bullitein out on it before we ever come across it.
I took apart the N62 in school and haven't had to remove the valve covers in the field yet. Doing it in school wasn't that bad. I'll know how hard or easy it is when i go to the class (whenever that may be). But from what i hear, it's pretty simple.
