Please keep us posted on what the problem is. There are few worse sights than an Alpine White BMW being hoisted up onto a flatbed for transport to the dealership. Unless it's a BMW in any other color.

For offroading?
On a serious note, I hope this isn't terminal. Who performed the last service (Dealer, Indy)? Drain plug shouldn't break free like that--unless that's another "feature" this car has I don't know about. Is it still under warranty (back to the "did the dealer do the service" question I guess)? |

I just got a call from dealer and it was engine mount bolt problem
my engine went down a little.... they are going to change it with the new bolts.. I will provide more information when I get my car back.. car currently has 28k miles and production date is early 07 I believe. |

Maybe that hose in the 4th picture got kinked enough to cause it to split... |

The photo in post #18 is an air hose, not an oil hose. The VANOS oil pressure accumulator and the oil line going to it are bolted on to the side of the passenger engine mount. It could be easily damaged if the mount bolts broke and this would result in a high pressure oil leak.
