e34 m50 oil pump or s50 oil pump

[aeryk7]

Guessing this is for an M/S50 swap.

If so, you just need the pickup, and you're better off just buying it new. IIRC, its less than $30.

This guy is telling me that i only need the pick up , someone please explain because every list i have seen and from local gus who have done the swap tell me i need the sump from a 5-series m50.

I ve already done the research, but now having people contradict stuff.

You only need the pickup.

Buy it new.

You seriously need to read the 40+ page thread. All of you're topics are covered in there as much as it sucks to read, the rest of us have.

I have read it twice, and did 3 weeks just reading and searching visiting all your most common sites over 20 times .

I got the sump mixed up with the pump and thus where my mistake came in , i am just frustrated because this is my first engine project and still learning new things.

Turns out i already had the 5-series sump aka oil level sending unit or whatever it is really called. I just need the damn oil pickup and i am good to go. When i think of sump first thing that comes to mind is a dry sump ,one that sits in the back seat of a race car. So visualizing a sump or trying to find where the sump was on the s50 is hard since diagrams on the internet do not call it a sump.

I am 21 and still learning here so bare with me.

I'm not trying to get on you're ass entirely. I'm a bit flusterd about that thread as well.
As far as I can see, the questions you have asked are in that thread if I'm not mistaken. And there is some confusion in that thread at times so I do understand.

You need the oil pick up, and oil pan from any 5-series with the m50 motor.

"This guy" has done the swap.

[aeryk7]

I figured you had, i was just confused and it seemed like you were totally going against what i was reading turned out that i was misinterpreting what i was reading and this is why i had to make a post, because i had contradicting information. Turns out it was just my misundertanding.

Ok, here's what you need :
E34 (525i) Oil Pan (91-94) NOT 95
E34 Oil Pump pick up (bolts up to the stock oil pump)
PM me for part numbers, i just finished my swap.

Here is a pic of what you need to do.

You need to go from this



To this



Also for guys who have done this also corect me if im wrong because i dont want to have done this wrong but the E34 pan went on so im guessing its right.

[B3M2W5]

And oh well at least its up here now so some one else that has this qustion in 3 days can see what they need to do.

You're not done yet in that pic, bud... you need to take off the windage tray bolted to the block and take off the pickup support bracket for the e36 pickup that's bolted under the main cap bolts.
