Came in for an oil service at 65k miles. My oil pan gasket is leaking. damnit!

You tried to buy in and bought the cheapest one you could afford instead of waiting till you could buy less used vehicle. Sorry you had a bad experience, come back again.

I've seen Ferrari's I could afford, that's the easy part, keeping it running is the hard part.

Chriztofor · 06-16-2011, 11:30 AM

Sorry to hear that, I have the same car as you and I am at about 68k, no leaks whatsoever.

Price of the car has nothing to do with gaskets leaking. I purchased mine for $17,400 at 48k with no problems, to date, except a head bolt that was replaced for free.

Edit: You make it sound like he bought a BMW with 150,000 miles and should have waited to afford a car with less than 70,000 miles. By the way, 100,000 miles is the break-in period for a BMW.

all of those problems are a simple fix...

great video!

Mr.E92 · 06-16-2011, 11:53 AM

Sounds like either you got a shit box or the dealer fucked your car up. Take it to an INDY that works on BMW's and it shouldn't be much to fix. It's a 5+ year old car.

By the way I have about 85k Miles on mine and no leaks or problems. *Knock on wood*

Express · 06-16-2011, 11:55 AM

yeah my 5 year old car with a bajillion miles on it only leaks exhaust gas =(

man, what an idiotic post.

anyway, dealership quoted $2500 plus tax. I was prob gonna sell it anyway since I don't really need a car anymore. Its leaks are pretty minimal now and the dealership said it doesn't need to be fixed right now. Do you guys think it makes more sense to fix it now and sell it or sell it now and inform the buyer of the issue? If it's just a tiny bit seeping through, it might not make sense to fix it until it needs it.

dre_2ooo · 06-16-2011, 03:24 PM

Sucks man. I got about the same miles but no leaks yet. Have only had 1 problem so far (covered under warranty). Has been a sold car so far *knock on wood.*
