Thanks Overboost I confused transfer case with the front differential. Don't have either on my E39 lol
Crazy, drive shaft needs to be disconnected and front differential removed in addition to all the other stuff to change that gasket |

Make sure to allow a couple of days for the residual oil to drain from the engine before reassembly. One of the 4 seams (front right) of the block that get a silicone sealant is dripping oil directly down on that seam for days.

I like how you got everything perfectly laid out
So easy it is to replace the engine mounts. I've let the oil drip for many days and put the pan back together today. Did you check the play on your oil pump chain? I'm not sure if this much play is normal https://streamable.com/pmfirk I didn't find a way to tighten it I replaced the o ring for the oil level sensor. I wanna replace the orings for the supporting brackets as well. Part number 31511213527 Will swing by dealership tomorrow |

My oil pump chain was identical to yours. That is normal play.

That undercarriage is so pristine you can eat off of it! Mine used to be like that until the freaking OPG seepage started. DIY is way over my head on this one and I don't want to pay my indy $2k for the job
This is one of the most complicated OPG replacement that I've seen Quote:

For those of you with M54 6-cylinder engines, when (at what miles) did your engine mounts go bad?
My 2006 X5 3.0i 6spMT with 139K is still fine, but I plan on replacing mine soon, just does not know at what miles...

I would say you are due at 140K. Mine is really driven lightly and had a slight vibration felt in the steering wheel at idle at about 150K. That job is about an hour or so but make sure to get an engine hanger from Harbor Freight.

I just past 150k and felt a slight vibration back at about 100k. It's actually getting changed out as we speak. My indie indicated that it looked squished, but hasn't failed yet, but I'm getting it replaced anyway while we're in there as I finally caved with the oil pan gasket leak and decided to bite the bullet and getting it taken care of along with other little knick knacks. This will be the most I've ever spent on the X at any one time
