Bro, upgrading all the gaskets is an engine out, 50+ hour job. It's a silly thing to even think about.
Gaskets to consider Oil Pan Oil Filter Housing Valve Cover |

You got a point there boss buut dam id rather drive with 80% confidence after replacing the gaskets than driving with 60% confidence. I say 80% bc its a bmw buut fosho those 3 are my main concerns for the moment. Appreciate it tho

You have delusions of granduer. Call a shop, ANY shop and tell them you want to replace every gasket on your engine. Then be very quiet and listen for them to laugh at you. Because Im bored I looked up how long to change the head gasket. That costs 24 hours multiplied by about 125 an hour. That's 3 grand right there PLUS every small plastic bit that will break just getting to the head gasket. |

If you’re gonna do the N55 OFHG, do it only once with the upgraded Viton gasket by BavAuto (sold by Turner).

you act like your engine is going to blow up immediately if you have a small seep from a random gasket, do you have any actually leaking at this point? i wouldn’t touch ANY unless you see, or smell them leaking. replacing gaskets that don’t leak sounds stupid imo

I'd also add Oil Cooler gasket if you are going to do OFHG and Intake Manifold gaskets. You don't have to remove the IM to get the OFH off but it really helps.
