Something NOBODY said about dropping the N51-52 non X-drive aluminum pan is that it CAN get blocked by the rear crank throw. So all you have to do is turn the crankshaft clockwise a bit. I got hung up trying to drop my pan for a day and a half because it was in the way. Turned crank a 1/4 turn and it dropped without issue.

@@alpinen52ny79 nah for me it was because these guys NEVER said anything about the crank being able to be in the way. Knowing this, if the pan will not drop easily. The throw is in the way. Everything else was easy, it was the lack of knowledge the throw could be in the way.

Great detailed video. I recommend if you are doing this at home to take your time and write down all of your torque specs. A lift makes it easy and fast but, not all have access to one.

Also employ the use of an inch pound torque wrench for pan bolts and set to a higher 72 in-lbs (vs low value of 6 ft-lbs on larger wrench) for more noticeable clicks.

Oh man, my 2007 X3 with the N52 engine is leaking oil, and I'm pretty sure it's the oil pan gasket. My dad, who used to own the car, supposedly paid a mechanic to fix this leak, but it looks like either the mechanic did nothing or did a terrible job. I'm not about to pay someone else to do it again, but after watching this, Holy crap! I'm starting to think I might as well just live with the leak! It looks like too much work!
