Now that the larger items have been sorted, I bought a new set of jack pads. Yes, I can tell how impressed and jealous you all are...

I bought mine from Uncle Bezos for around $50 but only because I was in the middle of a job and wanted next day convenience. Mine looked identical to the $20-30 ones from Aliexpress too, even had the same text. |

Today I was trying to order new emblem for e91 rear (51147166076). And? They discontinued them
There isn't any available on stock on whole Europe. What a shame. |

The trick I really needed was to unbolt the heater hose that's bolted to the top of the front of the subframe (2 T30 Torx on my manual car). I did not end up loosening the control arms, but I'd say it's not a bad idea. It's tight in there, and any room you can gain helps a lot. I scratched up the pan a bit upon removal, and trying to reinstall without molesting the gasket is stressful no matter how you slice it. A couple "optionals" I saw mentioned in the DIY's were the oil level sensor gasket, and the oil pickup tube gasket, so I had those gaskets on hand. The oil level sensor gasket was a piece of cake, and I definitely recommend that while the pan is off. The 3 bolts have a super low torque spec but they are steel going into steel, so I reused them. The oil tube pickup gasket, I'm not sure I would recommend. The 3 bolts holding it on are one-time-use TTY, and only sold as part of the "oil pump bolt kit" 11410426472. Obviously, I realized that as soon as I had removed them. The pickup tube was still very securely in place, and it took a lot of wiggling to get it loose, so I'm inclined to think the gasket was fine. After making very little mess so far, this was also the point of the job where I finally dumped oil all over my garage floor when the tube came out. So between making a giant mess, having to order new parts (including a bunch of bolts I don't need), and observing that the pickup tube gasket seemed OK; I'm not sure I recommend it. Hindsight is 20/20 though, and I wouldn't have known how the seal was until I took those bolts off. Hoping the worst is behind me, and that I didn't miss torqueing any of those 28 bolts (pretty sure I didn't, but what a pain!). A little more cleaning, then on to motor mounts and bolting everything back together. |

Oil pan gasket and new engine mounts are done, woohoo!
CDV delete also done, which threw me on a couple hour detour as I learned how to bleed the clutch system properly. TL;DR: the brake fluid reservoir needs to be fully topped off to max or the clutch circuit doesn't receive fluid. Next stop: Rogue transmission mounts, transmission fluid flush w/ Redline MTF, OEM short shifter + fresh bushings/bearings. |

Took the car in for the dreaded oil pan gasket repair, main seal repair and new drive belts and pulleys. I replaced the valve cover gasket myself the prior week. Feels good to have no oil leaks.

I typically do all of my work, but that job made me cringe thinking of the what-ifs of being under the car. Well worth the dealership taking one for the team on this one.
