Freeze plug leaking
Do this type freeze plug screw in and out? It's leaking water and I'm wondering why it has star torx type insert in it. It's located on right side of engine

That pic is of the VANOS filters, really called "non-return valve". Why the OP thinks it is leaking water is beyond me; the liquid stain doesn't even emanate from under the head of the filter. It would leak oil, not coolant. Plus there is an o-ring just under the head of the filter that would prevent any leak regardless. If the N52 has freeze plugs, I've never seen them on either side of the block. There are two plugs on the back of the block on each side of the starter, but I'm not sure they sit in a water galley.

A manual transmission can be set to "comfort", "sport", and "track" modes simply by the technique and speed at which you shift it; it doesn't need "modes", modes are for manumatics that try to behave like a real 3-pedal manual transmission. If you can money-shift it, it's a manual transmission. "Yeah, but NO ONE puts an automatic trans shift knob on a manual transmission."
