Yea v8 bmws love to leak - on my 550i I've replaced
VCG x 2
Mechatronics seal on transmission pan x 2
upper timing cover x 2
lower timing cover x 1
alternator bracket seal (car pissed oil out was lucky motor survived after dumping two quarts in roughly 10 minutes. Carrying spare oil in the trunk of old BMWS is a must)
Currently leaking oil at the oil pan drain bolt area - need a new oil pan but it's a slow drip.

Car has 125k - 2007 550i
