        I just spoke to a buddy who lives and breathes iX's....he said I could def use a RWD gasket, and just punch out one more hole to fit. I ordered a rubber gasket one....which I plan on using. Curious if anyone else has done this.

          I don't believe the bolt spacing is the same. You can't just add another bolt hole.

          Use some Permatex "Ultra Black"..

            Don't use a gasket. Use a sealer. BMW did that for a reason.
