Oil pan gasket on BMW E60 N52 engine DIY part 1

Pars and tools you can get here: amzn.to/3UOdeDd
This gasket is a common replacement on n52 engine. You should replace this gasket if there is an oil leak or if you are replacing your oil pan.
I also replaced the engine mounts, as I had vibration at idle in a traffic jam.
In this video, you will see how to remove the oil pan. In the second part, you will see how to install the oil pan with a new gasket.

The caption that explains you can install the new oil filter before you lift the car speaks volumes. You have my attention.

Pretty much got to take out the engine, this is way bigger job than i thought it was. thank god i didnt start lol. thanks for making the in depth video. I don't have all those tools. Ill change my oil though that seems simple.

[@mikes.garage]

Thank you for watching! I’m glad that you realize this job is not easy and requires some extra tools!

[@Isa-db9wo]

Good shit my boi

[@barrygarner9094]

Great video. Was this for an awd car? You did not have to remove the axles from the differential?

[@mikes.garage]

Thank you. You need to remove right axle as I remember as it goes through the oil pan.

[@BmwFix]

Great movie. Will the subframe go down if I don't disconnect control arms, sway bar links and don't remove wheels ? I am thinking to do that on car ramp with the wheels on because I don't have a lift.

[@mikes.garage]

I was following repair manual. You can try to do it your way and let me know after if it works. Thank you for watching!

[@bretpetrie7044]

@@mikes.garage I just did it like this! It's tight but can be wiggled in and out!!

[@mikes.garage]

@@bretpetrie7044 Good to know! Thanks!

[@BmwFix]

Perfect movie. Are oil pan bolts aluminium ? I managed to stick them to the magnet. Why they should be changed ? What if I use high temperature silicon instead of changing them ?

[@mikes.garage]

Thank you! Yes, this is aluminum bolts and they must be replaced. Otherwise, you are going to break them while tightening. I was following repair manual. If you want to try to do this job your way, you can do it. But if something go wrong.... this is a big job to redo.

[@Boru06]

Do you need to remove the engine on a 520d with n47 engine to replace the sump gasket?

[@mikes.garage]

Sorry, I don’t know

[@simplelangperorock]

Awesome. You are the best of the bests. Did you have to remove all arms?

[@mikes.garage]

Thank you! I just disconnect lower control arms from subframe.

[@keemoify]

Hello , i have a problem with my e60, the climate controll only blows air through the vents in the middle of the car, on the middle of the dashboard, and in the back of center consoll towards the backseats) not on the sides on the dash or in front of the dash. Do you know what can be the problem?

[@mikes.garage]

This is could be controller it self not working. Sometimes this problem caused by bad heat valve controller. You need good shop to check all this. If your location some where in BC Canada you can come to shop where I working.

[@keemoify]

@@mikes.garageOk, thanks man, im from Norway, so its a long drive to Canada. Lol

[@mondobe]

I tried this tonight on the same model and the subframe just won't come down and I can not see a reason why. I followed your steps just the same. Do I need to disconnect the steering rack from the subframe?

[@mikes.garage]

No, you don't need to disconnect steering rack. Did you remove all 6 bolts from subframe?

[@mikes.garage]

Did you disconnect steering shaft from steering rack?

[@robertthrem3382]

Holy Christ

[@mikes.garage]

😂🤣

[@zxggwrt]

Yeah my reaction too. This is gonna take me a week!

[@iteshnand1492]

How do I know what is wrong with my BMW where the adaptive headlight aren't working

[@mikes.garage]

You need to scan the codes with scanner for BMW, because it could be so many reasons. Is it not even turn on? Or headlight not adjusting to right level?

[@The_North0]

I do not need engine bar support?

[@mikes.garage]

You need engine support, watch video 2:20

[@The_North0]

@@mikes.garage sorry, i thought i deleted the comment. I fast forwarded the video to point of removing the subframe without realizing i did just that which lead me to think what’s holding all that weight once you removed the subframe because i was so certain that the transmission bolts and transmission bracket can’t supports all that weight then i watched the video again but starting from the beginning i realized what I’ve missed. Good video! My N52 has 222,500 miles and is still on the original gasket but there is barely any leak but the S85 engine has more oil leak seeping from the oil pan with only 150,000 miles. I enjoyed the video. Thank you

@@JoseMartinez-vl5zw of course, just a little longer.

[@stephendorn8249]

This looks like a time consuming and expensive job!

[@mikes.garage]

It is, this is 9,5 hours job by black book. I had it done in 6,5 hours without breaks.

[@robertbrown-dn6fj]

my local shop not dealer says its a atleast 11 hour job, am i getting ripped off? 2010 528ix automatic. thanks for your video, now i am armed with the truth

[@mikes.garage]

10 hours by the black book. You have all wheel drive, that's why it's longer. You have axles through oil pan
