Came across this little gem in the road today.:woowoo: On to the junk yard tomorrow tomorrow. I didn't think i was low enough to have to get a skid plate but i guess the cabrio's are just lower than coupes.





Always fun seeing your pan in pieces on the road




Gotta question tho, can i get away with reusing the old gasket or no?

[pharow]

replace the gasket. just to be on the safe side.

Of course to be on the safe side i would change but the thing is I need my car for work tomorrow night sunday and all next week so i don't really have a few days to wait for a gasket.

Order a gasket from blunt, he'll magically make it appear at your house yesterday.

Its not that big of a deal just a pita... i needed to change my oil anyway, i just didn't plan on doing on a public road hah.

Needs more low + plate.

sad to see. I just had my motor lifted by Castro so the pan isnt the first thing to smack the floor when I hit a dip. Think about that.

Why do people slam their car and then wait for their oil pan to break before getting a skid plate. :roll:

I've never had an issue before with my e30's. I usually drive pretty aware (this time i was unfortunately distracted by my grandmother on the phone and didn't see it.)

Plus i'm a broke college grad and $300 is tough to come by with all the fuckin bills... ballin' :pimp:

Oil Pan............................................... .................19.81

junk yards ftw

Edit: I ran into a 70 year old rich man today. He told me that when i was his age, if i worked really hard, that i'd be able to afford a brand new bmw instead of my old one.

I proceeded to explain to him that I would never drive his car, even if someone gave it to me. But that I would except the generous gift, then sell it for 10 of my cars.

He was confused at my ignorance. lol

sucks this happens but i wouldn't trade it for anything :)
