Here are a few video clips I took while repairing/replacing the oil filter housing and oil cooler gaskets. I also did the preventative maintenance on the electric water pump and thermostat. All torque specs are included.
This car is a 2007 BMW Z4 3.0si Coupé with 103,000 miles. This acts effectively as the 100K mile major service for this engine. I will be replacing the cam seals in the near future as well.
If you want part numbers for the stuff I used, let me know.
