Replacement gasket between the upper oil pan end engine block on M62TU V8 in the E53 X5 4.4i/4.6is.
Your original oil pan gasket can crack and come apart from age and heat allowing the engine oil to seep through and leak. Tightening the oil pan bolts to decrease the leaking will only cause more harm to the gasket and can potentially damage the small, lightly-torqued bolts. We suggest replacing the oil pan gasket to prevent an increasing mess and to stop any potential of running the engine with low oil levels.
Note: BMW calls for all new oil pan bolts when replacing the gasket. There are four different bolts to order: 07119902598, 07119902600, 07119903316, and 07119903850.
This is an OEM oil pan gasket manufactured by Elring - the original supplier to BMW for this part, as well as many other gaskets and seals. As the OEM it meets all of BMW's original design, fitment, and performance requirements and is TUV approved. OEM parts are the best alternative to more expensive Original BMW parts because they are virtually identical without the inflated price tag. This part has a two year warranty.
