This did not ring a bell, but I was only superficially aquainted with 3.8.
I don't see anything in 3.8 pump or pan to indicate active sump scavenging.
Perhaps you meant the S50B32, the 3.2 liter "euro" M3 engine, that came with a dual pickup pump and pan assembly, first seen in the limited 400 or so GT International 3.0 liter cars, and the US LTW.
Possibly you're thinking of the M88 from the M1. That engine was actually dry-sumped from the factory. Little known trivia that a street car from BMW in the 80's was drysumped!
