CCP + Oil Leak Found
So I purchased a 13' 550i M Sport with 45K on it a little over a week ago and naturally took it to the dealer (Classic BMW of Dallas) tp have it serviced. I was notified that the CCP was not completed on the vehicle. I wasn't aware of this issue prior to purchase or it would have swayed my decision. Anyways, I agreed to leave it there on Tuesday, and after three business days I decided to call and check how things were going.
They notified me that they're still working on the CCP but also found that my oil pan gaskets were leaking oil. They notified me that both the upper and lower pan gaskets were to be replaced by them. I did notify them when dropping the car off that I had the oil level low light come on, but I was aware of the high consumption. I'm curious to know if the oil pan gasket leak is common and whether that can be a possible reason for the more than average consumption these vehicles are known for? |

I had the 4.4 in my x5 and it used more than normal oil especially as it got more miles on it, it was the valve stem seals (most common reason) and when it gets bad enough it will start smoking after a longer than usual idle...also yes i had both my pan seals replaced in the life of that engine.
I traded it in for my 535 when it had 80000 mi, was an awesome motor until it got around 75k.....im happy with the 3.0 now good luck!

Oil pan gasket is common. This is because gasket become loose and it cannot hold oil and oil starts leaking. With this running average of the vehicle get decreased. This is not a big problem. New gasket will solve this problem.

2011 550i here. Dealer just found out i have an oil leak in the rear right side of engine... Could that be the valve seals or maybe the lower/upper oil gaskets? Just hit 73k miles.
Is this a major/expensive job for either? Valve seals vs oil gaskets/ Thank ahead for any input. |

Are valve seals expensive job ? And can they only be done by a bmw dealer ? Oil gaskets shouldn't be too much, right? Is that something that can be done at an independent bmw mechanic shop or best bet would b a bmw dealership ? Thanks for the help |
