The kit looks like it has what you need, but I'm not an expert. EDIT: It doesn't list E70, but does say X5's in that model's range. It will depend on your transmission. I like to use FCP Euro or ECS Tuning because you can search by exact year and model more easily. Is this the right one for your engine?

I bought a kit from ECS Tuning because I wanted quality parts. It doesn't have as many parts. We reused the bolts for the pan. They were fine. No leaks. On mine, it's aluminum and it didn't need to be replaced either.

For E53:

Edit: You don't change the pan twice, you use the drain hole to drain it the second (and, possibly third) time. I did it three times to get more MaxLife to original fluid ratio.

Whoa, that kit does look complete, and it's prime! It's says E70 in the description as well as X5 2007 - 2010 so it appears to be what I'm looking for exactly!

I could get that with the sleeves and valveoline redline fluid and I should be good for the service.

I looked on ECS but there are so many option and none of the kits include the seals and bolts. They're all $100+ and don't include half of what this kit includes. Some are over $170 and include fluid but they don't includes seals or bolts either. I'll continue to dig but thank you for the help!
