    Oil leak

    After a few days with the Grenny I noticed an oil leak beginning to form under the right side (passenger side in the US) of the engine bay close to the bumper. Today, at about 300miles, I decided to trace the leak upwards and notice splashes of oil on the top side of the front skid plate. Of...

    Trifecta of Annoyance - ADAS, TPMS & Tire Rotations, Engine Oil Service Reset

    All three topics have been discussed around the forum but is there really any hope for what I’m calling the “Trifecta of Annoyance” issues that these will be fixed anytime soon? I would prefer not to be clicked to death by nanny state speed warnings, or having to make pointless (hundred of...

    Oil plug thread size and thread pitch?

    I searched the forum and the interweb but cannot find the thread size and thread pitch for the B58 oil plug / pan. I am changing my oil at 800 miles and would like to install a magnetic tip oil drain plug. The BMW sellers suggest it might be M12 / 1.5. Can anyone confirm they are the same...

    Oil check spot engine compartment oil leak

    Hi, it looks like there is a vent in the cap on the oil check spot by the battery jump terminal on the right side front of the engine compartment- New (400 miles) gas and we have had it for two weeks. Oil seems to be leaking out there (maybe a few ounces?) Overfilled or normal?

    CHF oil reservoir cap

    I noticed that there is an opening in the CHF oil reservoir cap, and those green/blue fluid could leak out or are forced out and leave some traces outside. Does anyone know what that opening is for? is it normal to see some trace of power steering fluid outside of the cap?

    First oil change

    How many miles to do the first oil change? The manual says at 12.000…. It seems a little to far for me. Usually, my other cars (land cruiser 200, G wagen) had a break in period and oil change at 1.000 miles. Thanks

    Crap, I have some kind of an oil leak! (Transfer case output flange)

    I have just under 2000 miles on my US delivery and I just spotted some clear odorless oil on my garage floor. This picture is taken from the front. The four dirt spots are where the tires usually rest and you see the oil spots in the center in relation to the tires. This is where I think it's...

    General Anyone using the MMR Performance Lifetime Oil Change Service Kit for the BMW B58 / B57?

    In the Kit is a magnetic oil sump plug, Billet Oil Filter Housing and a reusable stainless steel oil filter. Details here. The OEM oil filter had had a reputation for failing, when used in BMW models. FYI: INEOS Part numbers for the diesel motor here. Other kits just have just the stainless...

    Petrol/Gas What oil filter does the B58 use?

    The owners manual sucks at having anything specific. Talks about when to change the oil but doesn’t tell you how. I know where the drain plug is and I can see the filter housing under the hood but what’s the filter that goes in the housing?

    Anyone have experience with FCPeuro for oil changes and mx?

    I'm reading where people are saying you can get products for life. Not sure how they pull it off. But for instance you can do oil changes and all you do is ship back your used oil to get more. Would really change how I view going about things.
