To be honest I just spent $3100 replacing my oil pan after I stripped the bolt. As the only bonus, I got an oil pan from Bimmerworld that had an actual dipstick. $1700 is retail, BTW. Even Bimmerworld sells it for considerably less.
That said, it leaked *immediately* after. The pan (and the threads) is an aluminum part and is super soft. I don't think a previous owner did it. I think they just did it and they are trying to pin it on someone else.
Either the bolt was stripped and it leaked before OR the bolt wasn't stripped and they just stripped it (and now it leaks).
