I got quoted $1,200 for my 335i. I did it myself in 6 hours including dropping the subframe.

I was lucky and had the gasket replaced by the dealer while my car was (barely) still under CPO.
I didn't see the actual cost (the receipt had $0.00 because warranty), but my SA said it was about $75.00 in oil, $25.00 for the oil pan gasket, and $900.00 in labor. They had my car for about a week, but I have no idea how much of that week was dedicated to my car. If you assume $85 an hour, then it comes to about 10.5 hours of work. |

Go slowly when removing the single-use aluminum bolts. 3 of mine broke and that added at least 2hrs to the job. Also be careful when torquing the new bolts. BMW calls for 8nm or 6lb/ft +90degrees
My old gasket was baked onto the the pan. It was quite difficult to scrape it all off. With the subframe down, there are many items you can check and proactively replace. |

still alive in 2018
In the midst of doing this on a 2008 335xi. 8 hours to get it off. The turbos do not play into it. The front axles and diff add time. I did not drain any coolant or PS fluid. Left the PS rack hanging. Not using additional sealant because I want to do this again in another 120k miles.

Very common known issue, no big deal at all.
