If you ever change the OFH gasket...

1. Use only BMW dealer gasket ($6 at dealer).

2. Read ahead to avoid stripping the threads if possible. During installation, torque the 6 bolts down slowly and evenly. I posted the tricks in the forums.
The bottom line is torque it down, wait a bit for the gasket to settle down and torque a bit more etc. If you follow these tricks, you will not get any leak.
