lol well put and very true. who would have thought the smaller, slower, slant 4 oil pan would be more exposed then a straight 6?!

Lol your e36 sucks, every other e36 pan is so far from danger it's not even funny.

Washers under the mounts. 318 issue solved. Also I'm super jealous of E36 owners clearance.

Ouch, never looked under a 318 before

I didn't think it was the pan was that low either. But I guess I was wrong.

Lol 318s.

Drop a M52 in there, never worry again.

The X - Brace will be dragging constantly if you get it or maybe just a few mm above the floor. Why is your pan exposed so much?

[FittedDownLow]

my pan sits lower then my subframe too....


might run an x brace but it will be on the ground 24/7 i think

i want the latest designs of the kids plate. rafting in rishikesh

Take a picture.
You are running a 4 cylinder engine right? Maybe people can't afford a 6 banger that break the pan.

Well I've cracked my pan 2 times now when your slammed it is an issue.... I'm looking into finding/making one for my car since I'll be jb welding my pan for the second time this week...... Maybe people aren't low enough hehe
