Spectra Premium Engine Oil Pan P/N:TOP28A
Spectra Premium BMP03A oil pan for the 2004-2006 BMW X3 2.5L / 3.0L and other vehicles is the reservoir at the bottom of the engine that holds the engine oil.
Oil spots where the car is parked, or a dipstick reading that keeps dropping, can mean the pan is leaking. A gasket or seal above the pan can also drip oil onto it, so check the dipstick with the engine off and cool, and have a shop trace the source of the leak before you replace the pan.
It is also a direct-fit replacement for the 2001-2005 BMW 325xi 2.5L and the 2001-2005 BMW 330xi 3.0L, and each car takes one pan.
