X5chemist will become famous soon enough
Grab a Bentley manual. Best paper purchase for my X5. I found one locally on Craigslist!

I had my oil pan gasket done a few years go. New front shafts were installed. New oil pan shaft seals. Links, bushings, and new struts, strut bearings, and a good undercarriage clean. The crank and block had a lot of sludge built up. All of it was cleaned off. Previous owners sure did to the max oil life. I swear the engine runs cooler after removing all the sludge. I'll dig up my post for pictures.
