Hey question, I have a BMW 328i 2007. Need to replace the oil pan gasket. Is it similar to this procedure?

Sam Cortez says:

Thanks for the video, I just replaced mine. this job was tough but definitley doable and to think BMW dealerships will bend you over for your hard earned money. keep the videos coming, very informative and empowering.

Karen Jones says:

I haven't even watched it but I know would be beyond me

Mr Sorensen says:

Great vid. i was changing out my control arms and thought while i had it apart the oil pan gasket and motor mounts should also be done. i was doing it wrong and would have been totally frustrated. thank you and i will keep my hair this week.

I replaced the oil pan gasket on my 2007 335i sedan. It is a little different.
Oil leak turned out to be the rear main seal

micheal rucker says:

will this procedure be the same on a 2007 E90 sedan?

Michael Jovani says:

Daniel hyeon says:

Hello sir, i have a bmw e46 m3, there is a bold on my oil pan to let out of the oil, and now when i drill it in, it kinda worn, so it is causing oil leak, do u know any product could be good for sealing it? Or do u have any other idea to fix it? I know the expensive way is to replace the oil pan, but it is too expensive

Nice Video…

When you R & R the front cooling fan, remember to mention that the fan is reversed threaded…Lefty – THIGHTY, Righty – LOOSEY…

Had me spinning the wrong way for a little while.

MAHALO

Hans do you think it would be easier to undo the two track rod ends the the wheel giving you possible room to swing that rack out the way? Or is this not possible?

Great video… Really well done! My question is why was it necessary to remove the intake components all the way down to the DISA? Was that just to get the dipstick assembly off? If so, couldn't the dipstick and attached hose be loosened from underneath and then pulled out from above?

Where are you based. I'm looking for someone to do this on my 330 as my sump drain nut was rounded. I need to replace the sump itself. I'm based in London if anyone could help?

Ciprian Stoian says:

My 2007 Bmw 328i sedan have oil leaking from oil pan gasket.. You think
It will be the same work.. Any help

Hamza Mir says:

how did he cleaned the oil pan?

Pat ODonnell says:

Thank you for taking the time to make this video. Camera work is extraordinary considering the difficult angles, lighting challenges and confined spaces. The time markers by subject at the beginning of the video is most useful. I watched the entire process in one sitting so your strict adherence to showing each step allowed me to stay focused. The speeding up technique is a fantastic way to insure every step is shown without causing tedium. I would pay to see you tear down a 2012 E92 335i (N55) and rebuild in this fashion! Great work!

William Payton says:

Good job. Very informative without all the BS. And you didn't sit and talk for 10 minutes prior to starting like most folks do. Subbed
