I'm new here an to BMW's. Just bought my wife an 2013 535i xDrive with 99k miles. Bought it knowing it needed the Valve cover and Oil pan gasket replaced. I already did the Valve cover gasket (w/aluminum valve cover), Trans pan (w/aluminum pan), and rear end flush last week. I am now ready to do the oil pan gasket and have ordered most of the parts, but I'm having a hard time finding ALL the little part numbers for all the bolts/nuts that I will need to replace. Such as the bolts on the front drive shaft or the mounting bolts for the front diff. Does any one on here have a detailed parts list of all the new parts needed to do the complete job? Also is there any other parts I should be looking at replacing?

FCP Euro, Bimmerworld, and ECS Tuning have most part numbers you need for an Oil Pan Gasket replacement, I have read it is not simple task more so just tedious.

I too have looked into this and I have trusted personally a few websites that can carry OEM parts, for most repairs for the N55. just make sure to put the info to match your car, and don't hesitate to ask for online assistance! they are knowledgeable and everyone here on this awesome forum will guide you in the right direction! just search the forums well!

Thanks for your reply. I always appreciate any replies, but the link you posted was for a Oil Pan kit with an oil pan for a non xDrive. I have an xDrive and I dont plan on replacing the pan. FCP has complete kits that have all the bolts etc needed to do the Oil pan, but their kits are for 3 series not for a 5 series which differ in regards to the bolts for the cradle, etc. So if I bought their kit I would be paying extra for bolts that I wouldn't be using and I would still need to buy the correct bolts I would need for the 5 series.
I'm pretty sure I have already ordered 90% of the parts i will need. I think once I receive all the parts I will just dive into it and then make a list of what bolts and seals I might not have and go to the local dealer for those few parts.

Will you be replacing the axle seals and engine mounts? Also, if you could post a list of required parts once you have it that would be awesome!
