    Jon325i put two holes in his courtesy of a huge frickin rock in the road, on a club trip up to Ground Control. That was November of last year. The fix was a tube of JB Weld.

      The second the little aladdin's lamp "oil pressure" light comes on (which is right about the time the oil evacuates the pan), you stop the motor right then and there.

          ok, it has been a subject in my nightmares for some time, especially since the e34 pan hangs so low.

                    why don't you find out for us.. drain all your oil, turn on your car and let it run for a minute.. then, go shoot yourself in the head.
