►The oil pan is essentially a bucket mounted to the bottom of the engine that holds all of its oil. BMW uses a metal and rubber gasket to seal the pan against the engine block, which will dry out over time. Replacing the oil pan gasket on your F80/F82 BMW M3 or M4 isn't as common of a job as it is on older engines, but higher-mileage examples can spring leaks.

Leaving the leaking oil pan gasket will slowly drain your engine of oil and allow dirt and other contaminants inside. The escaping oil can also compromise rubber hoses, causing them to become spongey. Although replacing the oil pan gasket is involved, do your best to change it ASAP.

In this video, FCP Euro BMW Expert Gareth Foley replaces the S55's oil pan gasket on a BMW F80 M3.
