They are supposed to change the oil filter gasket and pan gasket on every oil change. Sometimes I wonder about dealers. I have a friend who took his car to Roseville Nissan for an oil change, took it home and dip stick was still black. But was like meh, whatever. Took it again 6 months later, same thing but that time he told the manager it was still dirty.. Manager apologized and 30 min later it was clean. So what are they doing? topping it off? Our BMWs can't be checked like that very well since there is no dipstick. For me, Liqui Moli 5W-30 is all I run. Or maybe it is time for a new engine LOL. You can be the first in the Sac area with a M5 E90. |

i hope you are just kidding about that. i think you misunderstand oil filter housing gasket and oil pan gasket. those ARE not something you normally change unless they start leaking. oil filter housing gasket requires you to take out the whole oil filter housing unit in order to get it replace. oil pan gasket which is underneath the car, and on e9x design, you have to drop the whole front sub-frame in order to get to it, which takes about 3 hrs...

power issue? Are you just referring to when the outside temps are lower, the IAT's are lower bringing you more power?

for sure, dropped off my car to my friend's shop around 9 and they already delivered the car back to me, snapped me a pic to ensure the tube is back on the other lid with the nipple. i will go out to the car in a bit and open that up myself to confirm.

hahaha, yea as long as you provide the part, i'll provide the labor IN CASE IF yours go out (im not jinxing you but just saying if it ever goes out) front doors require to loosen the window actuators and play around some room but i don't think that's a big deal since i stuck half of my head inside the door skin last night just to poke around what's inside look.

I noticed today and yesterday evening I didn't have the power loss, and was feeling the responsiveness of the power at lower RPMs. It almost feels the car is starving for, fuel, air, something, Then boom, the power comes in at higher RPMs. don't know how else to describe it. it comes and goes. the colder air temps comment was more of an coincidence. don't think that had any affect to my issue. Oh, my logs look freaking outstanding. can't find anything wrong. LPFP is not bad. going to look into my vanos, going to log intake and exhaust req vs act and see if it's off.
