Estimates, not quotes. Tax, shop fees and diagnosis aren't included, and the price you're quoted can differ. How we estimate
Symptoms
- Oil drips under the engine / film on the pan near the drain plug
- Oil spots on the driveway
- Burning smell if oil reaches the exhaust
Which cars are affected
2011–2018 335i/435i/535i, X3/X4/X5 35i, M235i/M2; xDrive versions cost more
F30 · 3 Series 2012–2019F32 · 4 Series 2014–2020F10 · 5 Series 2011–2016F25 · X3 2011–2017F15 · X5 2014–2018
Requires supporting the engine and dropping the front subframe; xDrive adds front axle/driveshaft work, so xDrive quotes run higher. The oil system must be primed before first start (owners cite BMW SI B11 09 15).
