can you get a measurement for me? i think this might be my best bet to use with my supercharger on the m20. the diameter needs to be just right but fitting needs to even better right now.

hahaha, yeah, i guess your right. if im patient, next time i go to the junk yard i will find a 5 speed 325i and a e34 525i for the oil pan. i can smell it now.

maybe the 325i will have a perfect moonroof with an mtech kit too while im still dreaming

:p

And suspension! Hehe. Let me know when you go back, I need to go grab that mirror gasket and see if theres anything else worthwhile.

Got my e34 oil pan. $54 total.

All i got was the oil pan and dip stick part, do i need anything else???

Dirty:

All Cleaned up:

**FredK** · 10-16-2006, 05:19 PM

You just need to get an oil pickup tube. Just get a new one, it's around $25 from a BMW dealer.

Nice job on the cleanup. My pan looked pretty dirty too! Nice price too.
