- ►The oil pan is essentially a bucket mounted to the bottom of the engine that holds all of its oil. BMW uses a metal and rubber gasket to seal the pan against the engine block, which will dry out over time. Replacing the oil pan gasket on your E9X-generation 3-series has become far more common as they've aged, and it's likely something you'll have to deal with as a future or current owner.
Leaving the leaking oil pan gasket will slowly drain your engine of oil and allow dirt and other contaminants inside. The escaping oil can also compromise rubber hoses, causing them to become spongey. Although replacing the oil pan gasket is involved, do your best to change it ASAP.
In this video, FCP Euro BMW Expert Gareth Foley replaces the N52 oil pan gasket on a BMW E90 328xi.

One of the best channels in regards to making the watcher get a genuine understanding of what is required to be done. Really clear, as some of us newbies dont make certain connections to things lmao.
I’m successfully delaying all that work on my E92 for years. And now you upload all these DIYs. You make me feel bad and lazy…
You mean we motivated you! haha is it done y et?
HOLY CRAP. I think I'd just live with the leak.
😆many choose to!
Thank you for your support and help,, best BMW contents ever ,,, 👍
We try!
Mike you're an angel for these videos buddy! thank you!
Glad he could help!
Thank you for the x drive videos
Our pleasure!
give us more!! have E91 myself, love these videos! very helpful
Whole lotta E9X love to go around.
if i had a dollar for every time he said "my good people", i would have a 10k in fcpeuro account balance 😂. amazing tutorial though
Don't give us any ideas!
Love the Long roof content!
wagon life.
Great detailed video. I recommend if you are doing this at home to take your time and write down all of your torque specs. A lift makes it easy and fast but, not all have access to one.
Having TQ specs listed out makes things SO MUCH easier!
Also employ the use of an inch pound torque wrench for pan bolts and set to a higher 72 in-lbs (vs low value of 6 ft-lbs on larger wrench) for more noticeable clicks.
You seem to have the weight of the car on the wheels, for tightening the control arm & sway bar bushing bolts, but without the stiffening plate in place. A big deal or not???
Something NOBODY said about dropping the N51-52 non X-drive aluminum pan is that it CAN get blocked by the rear crank throw. So all you have to do is turn the crankshaft clockwise a bit. I got hung up trying to drop my pan for a day and a half because it was in the way. Turned crank a 1/4 turn and it dropped without issue.
Whats the rear crank throw ?
@@alpinen52ny79 its the part of the back section of the crank that has an offset lobe for balance. For whatever reason, you can only see the rear one in N51
@@stevensims3342 now am afraid of doing it since most of my work i do it on the street 🫤🫤
@@alpinen52ny79 nah for me it was because these guys NEVER said anything about the crank being able to be in the way. Knowing this, if the pan will not drop easily. The throw is in the way. Everything else was easy, it was the lack of knowledge the throw could be in the way.
@@stevensims3342 How many hours do you think this work takes?, without the inconvenience with the crank shaft
how did you get the subframe and motor mount broken bolts out i have the same issue, but can you get them out if they break
Can you please help me my subframe bolt broke like yours so there’s not head on it anymore how did you remove it?
do you guys service peoples cars at your CT location?
How many hours did you spend on this job? Just to have an idea.
Our time is significantly skewed due to filming, it took us about ten hours of filming!
Now what would happen if I just left the leak what other things could it cause ??
What are the torque spec for the pan bolts on a N47?
Hay guys. I have a BMW x5 go5 2019. Can you tell me if there is a fuel filter that you can replace also if they have a water separator? Thanks guys.
Gasoline. Fuel filters are in tank with pressure regulator. Whole unit.
This right here is why my E90 leaks oil like the Exxon Valdez
What engine support bar did you use? What tow hook did you use?
Tow hook is your tow hook in the trunk by spare tire.
So you didnt have to prime the engine?
Yea , I guess I’ll just look to get a new car,
😥
What a horrible amount of disassembly for an oil pan gasket. German engineering!
Exactly, this is ridiculous
I was afraid of dying with the engine falling on me so took it to the shop
am I the only one who's tow hook didn't properly fit in the top support thread next to the valve cover?
How much did it cost? I have to replace the oil pan gasket on my 2006 Z4 🙏
@@fabiospataro9494 $700 to a shop that is known to be a good value. They charge $100/hour in theory. They did gasket + bolts + engine mounts too ( my parts from FCP) and then added a surprise control arm as one bolt broke in the process.
@@bogdanarsene9602x drive car?
$100/hr. Wow. In my area it is a well over $2000 job.
I hear they put silicone on the gasket too,so thats not really needed correct?
"a couple more tools we need just because of lack of space.... ". 😱
👀😬
Not trying to be rude, but the "alright my good people" got pretty repetitive and a little annoying.... Otherwise thank you for such a useful video. 🙏🏼
Sorry :( - Mike
Wait wasn’t this recently uploaded?
