I'm preparing to do the oil pan gasket on my 2010 335i Xdrive sedan. I have looked through all of the documentation I can find and have all of the torque specs etc. with the following exceptions:
1. the steel bolts that go into the oil pan through the back of the bell housing
2. the power steering pump bolts
3. the vanos solenoid bolts (not part of the job, but while I have the fan off I might remove the solenoids to have a look)
4. Order for torquing down the oil pan bolts. The only information I've found on this is in a youtube video from which I captured a snip (see attached). I believe it was for an N52. Is it the same for an N54?

If anyone has this information to share I'd greatly appreciate it.

You might want to get a copy or ISTA D up and running it has torque
specs and procedures in addition to guided trouble shooting and schematics
an host of other features.

Thanks for the reply and the pdf with links. I wasn't aware of ISTA D etc. I have the Bentley book (hard copy) and a Bavarian Technic. So far that's done what I've needed, but it would be really nice to have instructions from the Factory Workshop Manual. I haven't been able to find a source for those but it sounds like ISTA D is it. Is the link in the pdf you attached to "Rheingold..." the one that I should click on to get this information? And, sorry for another stupid question, but where it says "MUST have a functioning Standard Installation FIRST," to what is that referring?

Thank you!!! My understanding is that the steel bolts for the oil pan are M8 8.8. Assuming they are zinc plated, from what I can tell on the internet that means that they are 15 ft-lb, so I guess I'll go with that for those bolts.
