Unfortunately i have Xdrive so installing the S55 oil pan is not an option. (Althought i am curious if i could install the S55 oil pump and keep the n55 Xdrive Pan)
I highly recommend you guys do your oil changes on time and if you guys ever have to, upgrading the bearings and the oil pan is an absolute must for long term reliability.
Mind you it seems like im an outlier amongst EWG owners.

Sorry to hear that man. Can't believe it spun just getting onto a highway. If you don't mind me asking, how many miles were on the car when it spun?
I'm on E85 so I usually do my oil changes around 3k-4k intervals as it eats through the oil a bit faster than pump gas.
