So I went out and snapped some pictures of the headers. The welds are good and consistent. The fitment should be good.

What did the ZHP do for me today? Blew black smoke into my face, spit out all the oil that I just had changed less than 3,000 miles ago, left a piss trail on the road, and robbed me of 7 straight hours that I could've used towards studying for a final tomorrow morning.
Either the oil filter housing or gasket is broken. If it's the gasket, the replacement's only $8 but if it's the housing.......$300~.
DISA could be involved too, heard some kind of plastic flapping noise whenever I gassed it but no sounds when cruising.
Even at stock height with no springs, coilovers, or anything, it was still too low.
This was my previous E46, also '05, silbergrau. 325Ci.
She spits oil too. I'm starting to think my roundels are or something, I took them off the 325 and put them on the 330 after this happened and look now....one died, causing it to leak oil but this current E46, it didn't die. It just leaked oil randomly. I was driving to school earlier in the morning and everything was completely fine.
Took the POS backup Lexus ES 300 out for the first time in a while to use but the battery was dead. Got a new one at Sam's Club.
Seriously considering fixing then trading/selling for a S2000 or something.
I would check the drain plug. That looks like way too much oil for a failed OFHG. What did the intake side look like?
