Thanks for all the advice. I finally will have time to deal with this upcoming weakened instead of adding oil every 2 days. I got a m20x1.5 tap kit. I was wondering if it would be possible to tap it without drilling or if i need to drill the hole out first?
I wouldnt mind replacing the oil pan. I got a book from a buddy that works at a dealership and it looks like lower pan would be easy to replace except i cant find any oil pans for 2005 x5. Everything on ebay seems to be 2000-2003 or 2006 and up.
i'm also starting to consider just using plumbers tape to get it to seal for now while i keep looking for an oil pan.
