I think its more complicated than that. My '78 240D has the bolt, my '83 240D
did not.
My '78 is clearly a transitional car. Nothing attached to the valve cover,

to the driver's. 123 type oil canister...

I think thats overly cautious. I've needed to change them on every car I've had

I would recommend not walking down stairs in socks. Many times people will
fall especially on wooden stairs in sock feet. That is why hospitals uses
those socks that have those little rubber patterns on them. Just read this and
wanted to offer some advice. By the way, I don't bounce as well
Yeah, I've been careful with stairs for a while now -- been a few
years since I just ran up and down them without thought.
