This has been a problem with every used BMW I have owned after 50000 miles. This includes the
323,325, 328 and 645 models I have owned. The Dealers and Garages I have contacted and all claim the bolts stretch and allow oil to slip past the gaskets. This is a major expense and BMW should remedy this problem or recall the vehicles. I have owned Cadillac's, Mercedes Benz, and Maserati, and have not encountered this problem with these vehicles.
