Replacement gasket between the upper oil pan end engine block on S65 V8 engine on E90, E92, and E93 M3.
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 three different bolts to order: 07129905537, 07129905599, and 07129905600. We have a handy package of bolts you can find by clicking here:
