When you say oil gasket which one are you referring to, oil pan or oil filter housing? I hope it was the oil pan, if not try and get them to replace it. Its labour intensive $$$. Either way both will need replacing (oil filter housing definitely before the oil pan)

Things to come: Mechatronic sleeve (there is bmw service bulletin and it states that the transmission oil pan gasket must be replaced when doing the mechatronic sleeve). Since they are pulling the pan off it would be a good idea to put a new pan on altogether (old one can crack just like valve cover). They may not cover the new transmission pan, unless it was cracked

Overall I think you got yourself a solid ride.
@[Wolf 335] - It's crazy how they leave it like that you'd think the actual stealership wouldn't try to jip you in terms of maintenance of course you will pay a bit more $$ for the car but would assume not to have issues within the first 3 months of getting it...kind of sucked especially since I picked it up in Aug and i had ended up going back so often for repairs probably like 6-7 times in 5 months but it has been okay now for about a month. finally getting my trust back :P, hopefully it keeps going without having to make a trip back anytime soon....love driving the thing when it runs, nothing worse when it breaks down though ...it was the oil filter housing gasket...forgot to mention my rad had also got replaced as there was a small crack in it somewhere but yeah can't complaint service wise I've been looked after every single time and got free of charge rentals along with getting wear and tear things like battery replaced for free... with everything that's gotten replaced it seems anything i may have paid extra got me my money's worth already and i'm covered until Jan 2018 so that's a sigh of relief

Thanks for the heads up on the Mechatronic sleeve!
