Seeking advice.

Greetings all! I have a 2000 2.8 roadster. The oil pan gasket is leaking. I hate oil leaks! I’m going to have the gasket replaced by my bmw mechanic. What additional parts should I replace as long as it’s apart? Motor mounts? Any suspension parts? Oil pump?
Thanks in advance for your suggestions. I’m relying on those who are familiar with this job. Love my z3, and this forum.

The right side motor mount near the exhaust is a good option. They do drop over time.

They will probably be dropping the subframe to do the pan gasket making it an easy job.

Thanks! I was thinking about motor mounts at the very least.

Makes sense to renew the engine mounts same time as the sump gasket, you don't want to go through all the effort again later on when they fail.
