Is there anyplace that has the torque specs for the pan bolts and the drain plug? They weren't in there very tight.
kinda late reply, but be careful over torquing those.... Ive not done this on an X5 but other cars have very low specs, typically in the in-lb range. (ie 1/12 normal units)

Post up your results...
