bad thing that you didnt SEE the light and CHECK on the condition of your engine.
Bmw may have put it there for a reason.....?

Thanks for the pics Bimmerista. Yesterday I had a Oil Engine light. I pulled the Oil pressure sensor and sprayed some break cleaner. Now the light is gone.

wow that blows.
honestly $620 to get the ix oil pump replaced is a steal.. the pump itself is over $200. too bad your crank is dead. :(Comment

so far $2100 gets me
2 front drive shafts and a new oil Pump and CRANKSHAFT WITH BEARING SHELLS
so its that a good price.
so far I spend
$190 on oil Pump
$ 200 on Engine off ( e30 member)
$ 2100 for labor and 2 front drive shafts and replacing the crankshaft and bearings is this a good deal or what?.Last edited by franco90; 12-26-2007, 09:33 PM.

the engine oil pressure light (the one below the coolant gauge) is pretty much a "you're fucked" light
meaning, if it comes on during normal operation, you're fucked.Comment

No way man, if you just turn the engine off immediately and get it checked out you'd be just fine.Originally posted by 92 mtechnic cabrio View Post

Fred's a good guy. He's runs a small independent BMW shop and many people around use him for maintenance on their cars, even newer ones(E39, X3s, X5). In fact he just moved into a larger shop because business was so good.
But yeah continued driving on an OIL pressure light was bad. think he learned his lesson.Comment
