Well, the time has finally come to replace wifey's N52 X5 oil pan gasket and this thread will be my bible. I'm actually not replacing the gasket because it's leaking oil (because it is) but because the motor mounts are completely shot and need replacing ASAP. There is vibration at idle and major clunking going over bumps. I've already replaced the control arms AND thrust arms in hopes it would solve the sloppy/clunky front end issue and while the suspension feels significantly better...the clunk is still there, still maddening and it makes the car drive like pewp.
