I just replaced the plastic valve cover. The plastic crack easily. Even the new ones stored in the warehouse deteriorate overtime. After I solved the oil burning issue, I noticed the exhaust leak. Both are due to cheap material and light duty design.
I remember breaking the clamp when I was removing the dpf. It was flimsy indeed. It was not supposed to be removed, just undo and redo it.
BMW knows how to make money 💰
