I'll be following as you report out on your oil pan gasket replacement. My oil pan gasket has a very slight weep - so far, only enough to leave a few drips on the reinforcement plate between oil changes (< 5K miles OCI). It's not enough to drop oil level or even get to the garage floor, but I know it's there . . . . I have had too many other projects to prioritize it so far.

Very interested in your oil pan gasket change too. I had all the parts ready to do this on my last Z4, but it was too much of challenge, so I sold them on with the car.

I have a friendly local garage to do the oil pan gasket as it’s a big job with out the right equipment.
And only £100 negotiated ..
I supply the Gasket and new bolts

There's way more, don't pay any attention to how many left it's totally inaccurate

Actually, the Howmanyleft data is an accurate record of current and historic registrations, it’s just that the BMW Z4 (and presumably other) data is very poorly categorised so you need to know where to look.

For instance a 3.0Si manual may be recorded as “Z4 SPORT”, “Z4 SI SPORT”, “Z4 SI SE”, “Z4 SE ROADSTER”, “Z4 SE”, “Z4 ROADSTER”, “Z4” or “Z4 3.0SI CABRIO”

It is the reason why many people think E86 coupes are much rarer than they actually are.

That’s a massively good deal. It’s still quite a big job even with the right equipment.

So it's totally unreliable as I said

My mistake, I thought you said totally inaccurate
