I did actually! Did all the top end stuff myself (crank pulley seal, tensioner, belt, oil cooler gasket, and VCG) and took it to a BMW Indy shop to clean out the oil pan and replace oil pan gasket. Still cost me about $2k. It was a beast of a job though.

So my belt snapped 2 days ago, I did have to drive for a little to get it home, temperature gauge stayed stable, battery was draining fast and multiple systems shut down. I noticed when I got in my driveway I was unable to drive up my driveway (engine just reved) I’m guessing because it had shut down much of the car at this point….
Found this forum about the belt in the engine and was curious if anyone tried simply draining the oil and filtering it to look for rubber before taking the oil pan off? The I liked around the crank shaft and didn’t see much of any of the belt around it so was going to pull the crank pulley off and inspect the seal to see if it was compromised and filter the oil and depending on the results look at removing the oil pan. I have a 2011 535i GT xdrive and have searched the forums and found the belt getting sucked in happens but is less common with the n55 engine I believe I have over the n54. Guess I’m looking for some advice regarding the oil draining with a filter and if my plan to check the seal is a good first step before lifting the engine to get the pan out. Thanks for the help |

HOLY CRAP!! 7 of the bolts on the balancer came out like butter….8th one stripped the head like butter. Hardest extraction I’ve ever had to do. Good news is my seal looks good, figured I’d post a pick for another opinion. Does anyone have the torque specs for those bolts and the cross arms I had to take off to get the fan out? Thanks
Not sure if the pictures attached or not |

Since you're this far, if you plan on keeping the car, I would install one of those seal protectors. e.g. https://www.kiesmotorsports.com/prod...82-f83-e92-etc |
