BMW M30 pans in E24's and E28's suck. Just by looking at it, I can tell what's going to be the first thing to go when I drop it more...

i have a friend who drives an m6 you model and his oil pan has cracked.....at least once a month

jb weld is ur friend lol

3 pans, 2 pumps, 1 pump driveshaft....oh 2 skidplates.

Current owner of my old car finally suffered the oil pan destruction at the mercy of a particularly bad manhole cover.

Sucks, I've been meaning to find him a new one to make it easier on him.

Haven't broken it yet thank god for steel pans. Still need to replace it though probably going to do it when I need my next oil change.

Well , i don't know if this has been said before , but have you guys ever thought of a dry sump system? xD

its extremely expensive and labor intensive. Id rather bust a few pans than pay for dry sump

I even met a guy who had a website against them and had petitions going to get various ones removed, ABD speed humps or something, legendary

You can kind of see mine in this pic. The lip is a little less than a phone off the ground if that helps visualize it at all. Going an inch and a half lower too
