Yeah, you knew this was going to happen and didn't prevent it. Your fault.

Strange...I have never busted an oil pan in my life. I thought it might be a swap thing but I see guys with stock engines breaking pans too. Are u guys driving with aggressive drops or what?"I'd probably take the E30 M3 in this case just because I love that little car, and how tanky that inline 6 is." - thecj

5 years driving low. Always careful. I was so proud.
Then it happened. I cried. I became a statistic.

Its one of those things, you don't need it until you need it. And likely it won't be when you'd "expect" it (like running over accident debris in the dark while avoiding hitting the wreck and oncoming traffic around a blind turn)
Looked at it yesterday, its just a crack that appears to be fixable.
