If you back onto ramps, there is plenty of clearance to reach the front lift point with a standard floor jack, or you can jack each side in turn.

When I had my E46 the car was completely maintained by the dealer. But with the E92 it has been a different story. Thanks to the DIY guide on this forum and encouraged by others' experience I took the plunge and realised you don't have to be a master tech or a qualified mechanic to change oil, brake oil and pads, spark plugs etc., on an /// car. Good luck

Oil try outs
Exactly how do you "try out" an oil. How are you going to know if it's as good as the Castrol?

So I see some conflicting information in this post:
1. Everyone starts off saying 25NM on the oil filter cap...however then it was posted that it should be 40 NM? The cap on mine states 25NM so should I stick with the cap or tighten to 40NM? 2. Multiple different sizes apparently on the drain plugs. I read 4 different sizes in this post.....M6, M8, M12 hex patterns and then T-40 torx????...can anyone confirm torx or hex pattern? I slid my arm under my car, but did not have it up on jacks so I was unable to see if it was torx or hex pattern, the 6mm hex does fit, but there is some play. So I checked what size a T-40 torx is and apparently it is 6.65 MM. ...See link below... http://www.newmantools.com/tech/torxspecs.htm I am guessing this is the correct size because there was a tiny bit of play in the 6MM hex...which may be the reason behind stripped drain plugs I read about...?? Unsure... Going to look under the car tommorow to see if it is Hex or Torx....of course as everyone already knows there is a difference between a hex pattern and a torx pattern.

2. The drain bolts are definitely not Torx, although a Torx bit may work. They are hex bolts, although I could not tell you the precise size. I changed my oil just two weeks ago and on my 2011, the bolts are hex. The stripped drain plugs are probably due to over-torqued plugs. I highly doubt you'd have problems if you should use the torque specification from TIS. |

hey guys, is the oil pan drain bolt the same p/n as the front sump's drain bolt?
http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts...=11&fg=10&hl=3 Real OEM doesn't diagram both bolts, but for the bolt, they say I need x2. My bolt is stripped, so gonna need a new one. |

Oil
No, 10W-60 only. Not worth the risk.
