Common sense: do NOT drive like a dumbass

[Adrian_Visser]

Stamped steel pans were used on e21 323's (m20 engine) not sure what else had them.

Ebay replica or not.
I blame you, not the pan.

:p

Exactly.

I sell 2 aftermarket M42 pans. One is made by Meyle and one is made by
MEISTERSATZ and they are every bit as good as an OE pan. No oil pan is going to take a hit like that

But I hate something and it broke!!!!!1111

I've only ever heard rumors of a stamped metal oil pans. Anyone have a pic/part number?
Really curious.

I have one for an M20. Their oil capacity is a little less but very cool piece.

I'm glad some decent information came out of this thread

Yes, this is true.

11131278927 is the part number, can't say for sure it will fit an E30, but I would think it does.

we need a fair comparison here. Install an oem oil pan then go back and hit the same chunk in the road and report back.

agree!

I have one off an E21 sitting in the gay-rage. Its got surface rust and everything.



Edit: 11 13 1 278 927 http://bmwfans.info/parts/catalog/11131278927/ Apparently they were never available on US market cars.

It'll fit an M20 in an e30?

Pelican lists it for $133. I'm sure Blunttech is a bit cheaper.

I'd rather just buy a skid plate from Eric and not worry about it.

[Eecen]

Should fit an E30, it's got the same basic design. And if it doesn't just take a hammer to it right?

[slammin.e28]

Steel pan was on my friend's super eta bottom end. The regular bolts are too long to use, they bottom out, as the stamped steel is less thick than the cast aluminum.

I was under the impression all etas got stamped steel pans for some reason?

This thread title should read "Common sense do NOT hit shit with oil pan"

dude, i klobberd my m20 oil pan and ripped the oil pump right off once , its cast aluminum, thats shit shatters. what did you expect to happen when you hit?

Ebay is not a brand, sure there is cheap crappy shit being sold, but honestly, the aftermarket for OEM replacement parts is huge and in most cases OEM stamps r filled off of some parts, in todays parts market you'll be surprised at how many parts are under different names but all made by the same company.

I replaced my m20 oil pan with one i got off of pelican, its not oem , but its a OEM replacement, its made in Turkey, it doesnt matter its all the same shit. it fits, thats all it has to do. Im not going to go knock down buildings with it.

get yourself a new one and watch where you drive, simple as that, if u suck a seeing shit jump out at you get a skid plate.
