What is the usual going rate for the oil pan gasket replacement (I've never looked into it) |

They may have removed the subframe to do your Dp`s or maybe the clutch requires it. So that would make it like an extra hour or two for the oil pan. Edit: Yeah that picture hadn`t loaded (downloading a lot right now), your subframe is out |

Looks like subframe was off like you said to do everything in one go. I would've thought the downpour Install would have been ok without dropping the subframe but may have more to do with the gearbox removal? Has had a quite a bit done in one sitting this baby, think she (and my wallet) need a rest until 2022 I'm tempted to start a thread to document all that I've done to the car as a sort of electronic record for all mods + maintenance. |

Regardless dude, it`s not that bad to remove it, you are getting some proper good work done with some great upgrades. Car is going to feel like a completely different beast when you get it back! As for starting a thread - do it, why not. You can also point peeps to it if you ever come to sell. annnndddd as for not spending till 2022 - 3 months left, you might just make it There is a reason Chappers 71 made this thread a monthly one |

Am getting the oil/filter changed in my 335i next week and am going to ask the mechanic to check the oil pan gasket and, if he thinks it needs replacement, am going to ask for his estimate. Will update my post if I get an estimate from him for the work.

This cost another $125 that ups my 30 day (which is also the annual) cost for the car to about $3000, including 4 new tires, a new rear sway bar and new solid rear subframe bushings. I'll add it up exactly later but I'm in no hurry to do so. Pretty expensive when you consider that I only drove the car 2,100 miles in the 13 months (between oil changes) but driving is my "hobby" and the BMW is one of 3 "fun" cars in my garage. Anyway . . . My mechanic removed the belly pan (at my request) which is not required to do the oil change. He found (and showed me) that there was only very light seepage along the vertical rear edge of the engine/oil pan; enough to stain but not get the inside of the belly pan wet. So, no need for a oil pan gasket yet. Told him I previously got a verbal estimate from a dealer of $1,200 US for replacing the oil pan gasket (around 5 yrs ago from a service "advisor" who apparently was looking to pad the service bill because, if there was an oil leak then, it wasn't that bad to begin with) and he said that estimate probably about right because the engine actually has to be lifted out of the car to do the work! WTF? BMW engineering at it's best. LOL! Anyway, you can probably use 8 hrs/$1,200 US as ballpark estimate for the cost to replace the oil pan gasket if you have to get that done. Good luck!

Passed its mot, just an advisory about the stone chip on the windscreen which has been like it for around five years now, it goes to the same not place that I've been using for over thirty years now & some years they note the chip other years they dont & it's usually the same guy that does the mot every year
Only covered 2,614 miles this past year but (almost) everyone of them still puts a smile on my face

Had the suspension & reluctor rings checked out & apparently everything's good, my guy says it may have been down to road surface/conditions & the rear tyres are around 3/4 worn, haven't had the same issue since...so As there seems to be nothing wrong with the suspension i doubt I'll bother with a refresh & suspension kit now, will just save the money for the next time something breaks

Nearly got all the bits n pieces done now (rod bearings, engine mounts, new battery, DCT service, full service including plugs, rear quarters and bumper re-painted, exhaust gasket, ABS speed sensors, sat nav map update, etc). Next up is alloy refurb. Still can’t decide on a colour. Not gonna bother getting re-diamond cut, but powder coated. Don’t want silver, but maybe a dark shadow chrome type colour or maybe satin bronze. |

Just £45 for the mot for October & £40 a week on VPower, although I was a bit shocked to find that It had gone up from £1.57.3p per litre to £1.63.9p since last Saturday!!

MOT passed with no advisories, not bad for a 14 year old with 157k on the clock. :-)
I cant recall the last unexpected bill, service time next month. |

£340 on Tax for another year £310 on a custom tune from Doc Vu and £75 at MSL for the dyno runs.
Made 565bhp and 570lbs/ft with no meth, just 99Ron V Power. Very happy. |
