Does anyone make a low profile M50 oil pan?

There's really no option other than the OEM E34 pan, sorry.

If I could just get an extra inch in total from raising the motor and a lower profile pan I'd be happy.

A raceskids plate is definitely going to be in the mix. I've got one on the M20 now and they're just wonderous.

a inch is pushing it big time, 1 inch in the bay will throw the driveline off bigtime, you will be eating guibo;s and CSB all the time. I have mine raised about a 1/4 in from my Turner subframe reinforcement and the top of the fuel rail cover rubs on the hood insulation.

Which is why I rather get a low profile pan. I can't imagine being able to raise it more then an inch and having clearance up top.

The more you raise the motor the more you will throw off the alignment of your tranny/ driveshaft/CSB etc.

I was already thinking about raising the motor but heard there's not much clearance to go upwards as it is. Maybe someone can comment on this.

You could probably commision one from someone like Canton racing in CT but it will be big bucks. You may be able to go abit more shallow in the sump and make it fatter (more flat) but the oil pump is going to start to get in the way quickly. Get a ejnight skid plate and be carefull.

just raise your motor....hehe!

Not really.

You could use a dry sump oil pump and pan, but it's meant for racing, not getting low.

Just what the title says.
