The E30 uses a front sump oil pan, to clear the sub frame etc. The M5X motors generally used a rear sump pan. Except for a few years the 525i came with a front sump. Those cars are pretty rare in yards now since people caught on. Now if you have a in with the junkyard, they sell the pan and then it gets resold on craigslist for triple.

I've seen 5 e34 525i's in junkyards these past two weekends and they all were missing the oil pan but were otherwise 95% intact. Its a pita

Excuse my newbness. But what is the big deal about the oil pan? I assume clearance

I'm not going to bend over to these guys sharking all the e34 pans especially since there not even good for the m54.

I've been researching baiscly duplicating the arc asylum pan. A r3v'r has a m54 pan by him and so does Chase Bays. Hopefully I can get more pictures.

I'm going to either buy a subframe from Bayside. Or make my own. Then get someone to tig the pan for me. If I can break even ~350$ compared to a e34 pan I'll be happy.



I have a m54,I just wanted something to test fitment on.

Bummer, I sold my last two empty blocks last month.

But I have another empty block that I'm waiting on funds to rebuild. I'm skeptical to lend it to you because it's aluminum and I'm scared it would be damaged easily.


What did you have in mind for this custom oil pan/subframe?

Found my oil pan/dipstick. Now I just need the oil pump pickup tube. Anyone have a spare lying around? Could buy new but prefer to buy from a R3VLimited member.
