    Need Help With PS Pump on M50 Swap

    I hate the fact that my first legitimate post is going to be me asking for help, but I've hit a wall and really need it.

    I bought this pump a while ago as part of a suspension and steering overhaul on my m50 swapped 325i. It's supposed to be for an e36, so I thought it would work fine...



    ...guess I was wrong

    It fits fine on the top mounts but as you can see on the picture above, the bracket that goes to the oil pan is way off.

    So, which one is the right pump and what the heck did I buy?

    Or can I get a different bracket?

    Here are some more pics to help ID it:

        Ah, that would make sense.

        So would this be the right one?

          I've learned on my old 330ci, think that had a m50/52 engine, you must refer to the LF-20 or LF-30 codes for the differences. Even the high pressure lines are different in some cases.

          I got a LF-30 pump pulled from a smashed 330ci, its been in my closet for some time now, if it fits i'd like it gone too.
