    Are you guys prepping the surface properly? Along with the oil filter housing. GO buy a OE BMW gasket if you are not already.

      Everything i buy is OE, except for small shit, I don't mess around with gaskets. What do you mean by prepping the surface properly? I cleaned everything with some brake cleaner.

        Sadly I can not assume that everyone buys OE.

        What did you torque the bolts to?

        Brake parts cleaner and a quick hit with the emery cloth.

          don't remember, i think they're supposed to be around 20ft lbs?

          good call on emery cloth, when i get in there again i will do that.
