Re: gasket leaks oil-Need your help, pls

Hey guys, I'm kinda new on the forum. I'm so glad to know there are such great and detailed discussion-thanks! I've got a '06 e90 and absolutely love it! Unfortunately, it's got a gasket leak in the middle of the block toward the cabin. The oil drips onto the exhaust pipe and creates smokes that get's into the cabin. I would appreciate it a great deal if anybody can refer me to a certified bmw mechanic in SoCal (I.E.) who can fix it for a good price. Thank you much in advance!!!

Could be the broken head bolt problem

They say this was common in 06 and 07 and there have been some recent
threads on it.

do search for head bolts for more info

Try doing an Internet search for BMW INdys in So Cal with reviews
