If you need to replace an oil pan seal, can you do that job by just lowering the front subframe as you did? Great video, BTW. Your videos always give me a good idea of what I'm about to get myself into!
Nice job man, you guy do many X-drive oil pans? my question is about the front axles, why do the old axles wobble when their re-installed? I've always had to replace them after removal, done a bunch of them and every one had the same issue, had to replace the front axles, I got tired of hoping they won't wobble and just changed the axles as part of the job. just weird. note: I did mark them and put them back in same clock position. the new axles did take care of the issue.
Another while you’re in there; inspect the donut gaskets at the collector/x-pipe junction for leaks and the general condition of the o2 sensors while you’re peeking at the ground strap. Also peek at the headers for signs of missing hardware or leaks. It’s interesting that they don’t put more heat shielding around those engine mounts.
Great video. I know the car should be level when filling the transmission, however, I don't have a hoist and will be using ramps to lift the front end of the car. Is it still possible to change the oil using ramps or should I take it to a BMW dealership to have the work done? Thanks.
@@m.hfitness I sh*t blood, and only blood, for a few days. My doctor pushed it on me because my blood sugar was elevated (not quite type II). I didn't realize that 1) he gets a kick back from the pharmacy 2) The side effects would be so insane. I stopped taking it right away.
Love the M3! I have the space grey as well! Also! Gareth you’re looking great! More leaner
Excellent work

Yes you can, many videos out there where people recommend knocking those two things out at the same time.

You should be fine with the ramps. Not a big deal for oil changes but for transmission fluid change. It should be leveled when filling
Which nuts are you replacing? Are nuts one-time use in the same way stretch-bolts are? Thanks in advance.
Harry, the kit linked in the video description lists all the hardware needed to be replaced!
What kind of torque wrench is that? I need that
more money in bolts than mounts lol
Ozempic?
FYI it’s one of the worst things you can use. More and more research is coming out about how dangerous these drugs are.

@@rhanemann9100exactly. It’s frustrating because the patient’s interest is not the priority.
