    Quick oil changers strikes again

    2012 535, the engine is covered in oil, problem the quick oil changers like to reuse the oil filer cap o ring. Oil is actively leaking out, plus when removing the oil filter it comes in pieces. Then the belly pan which is quite large in this car and also has some sort of insulation on it is soaked with oil. When you lean it up against something oil just keeps dripping out. Plus this guy needs to change his oil a lot more because the oil is so black it looks like it came out of a Diesel engine. Moral to the story, you get what you pay for and change your oil at 5k intervals, if it's good enough for Toyotas is good enough for bmws

    Update we had to replace the rear belly pan because there was to much oil in it. Then a e90 pulled up leaking oil from the reused oil filter cap gasket, oil changers there really bad
