You guys talk about bolts and nuts. For my 2013 X5 E70, there are no nuts per se. All the bolts go directly to the subframe steel beams. Are these still TTY bolts? Thanks.

The fluid felt slimy and appeared to contain a lot of very fine particles. I think changing it every 30K miles is the way to go. Sounds like the fluid cannot sustain heat attack. Wonder if its...

OK, I will check again. Actually, I looked at it last weekend and didn't see the two covers in the graph provided. The undercover could be different for 4.8i than 35i. Thanks.

Then from which direction did you reach the filler plug? Seems to me there is not enough room to pass the extension bar from below. Even it barely goes through, there is no room to turn and wrench....

I took my X5 to dealership several times for repairing oil leaks, and they removed the plate every time to check out where the leak came from. If they were required to use new bolts every time they...
