[Kev]

Alright so yesterday i was replacing the oil pan i took out the oil pump and oil rod/tube w.e you guys call it and the little washers from both sides managed to crack or where crack already and just fell off..
are these nessecary or can i just put on the oil tube back on and the oil pumpo and pan so i can finally start my engine??

incase people dont know its part #10 the rod and both # 11 broke off...http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts...48&hg=11&fg=30

I would say those are needed. And since the oil pump is a rather critical part of the engine it would make no sense not to get the parts.

alright this is wierd i get a different message you post up on my email...
would generic orings work in this situation or should i just get oem?

It would be best to get the OE parts and I'm betting that they will be inexpensive.

Did we exchange PM's about this? I don't remember. It is possible that I thought you were talking about the oil return tube in the PM.

You can see the price in realoem is $0.15 - seems an obvious choice to me.
