  • Raising the engine.

    An m40b18 in a bmw e30 to be more exact.

    How much can i raise without to much issues?
    Do i need to raise the trans as well?

    Anything else i should consider?

    What's your reasoning to raise the engine? Are you looking for more clearance under the oil pan? If that's the case, I'd find a shop to fab up a lower / wider oil pan.

    I considered a similar solution for my old MK3 VR6, but there wasn't enough room under the hood to allow the engine to be raised as much as I wanted it to go (even with the engine cover off). I swapped out the oil pan for one that was 2.5" short in height and never scraped again... well, I never scraped my oil pan anyways.
