Another Jacker. So that explains what that wire is hanging by my brakes? Had me wondering wtf! But its not even connected & there is no light on the dash or anything. Mine is '88 318i. Is that what the wires hanging there are for? If so, would that mean some fella has removed the bulb? Have passed 2 WOFs so far and no one has said nothing about them.

Is it legal (well must be as it has passed WOFs) to completely remove the wiring? No lights on dash so wont make any difference?! How would I go about removing it all entirely?

So now, does anybody know the easiest way to remove & replace my sump? Any know-hows or step by step etc?

Yea thats me. I dont drift it but if by chance my foot happens to get all heavy when Im going round a corner it handles it ok, pretty much the same as the four door I had before the wagon.

haha fair enough. Being a 2.5 its bound to have bigger balls than my lil sack 1.8. But in the wet, she likes to step her lil ass out on corners- in the wet only though doesnt even try in the dry - have had a few mates holding on.

Ive got a wagon. The rims are for sale if your interested http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=229055259

You by change park your car in Frankton? I forget the name of the street, but the wagon I see in Frankton always parks outside my X's mates house...yes or no the wagons look sexy as. But yeah I like the 4drs. What are the wagons like for drifting (if you do)?

The M40 sump is a 2 piece sump, and the bit that's still attached is part of the upper piece, so you need to find both. Chances are that the motor's ok, but time will tell I guess. You'll need to check that the oil pickup hasn't been damaged as well, it sits down in the front lower sump, the bit you've broken off. I've bought a couple of cars like this which have been lowered too far and smashed the sump, been good buys.

I've got a lot of the bits you need if Mosen's haven't, just pm me if you need them.

If you got BOTH parts that will fit straight onto it, then your the guy Im looking for! I need them urgently. How much you wanting?

And I think the oil; pick up is OK, doesnt seem damaged, will try look tomorrow if the rain clears otherwise just risk it. I dont think Im going to keep this car forever, fix it then sell it. Then maybe look at a nicer one with a bigger engine..this sack costing me too much so far. But yes, how much for both the parts I need?

Howsit dude, Im from hamilton as well. I would recommend carspot or if your a bit tight on the pocket mosen europarts will be able to help you out. Youll only need a new sump, you wont need a new block. Mosens will most likely have a sump

And in your Htown? Wonder if your seen my car around? As per my profile & avater photo. Is yours a 2Door or Wagon?

Yep I went and saw Kerry at Moseneuro parts (been to him before for a Gearbox once, good deal). Hes got one on a 1.6 but wants $150+ GST cos the engine is worthless without it, prefer to sell complete engine so wont be cheap for just the Sump pan hence the higher price (i dont wanna go to a 1.6, a 1.8 is slow enough!) So he told me to go have a look around first. And no luck...and if I bought his Sump, I still gotta find someone to put it on cos I do NOT want to lift up the engine & then do all this n that...not keen at all! I was thinking of putting a 2.5L engine in it from same model, but then thats just more $$ I dont have!

But what did I break thats on the 2nd photo? Whats that thing bolted to it? is that the block or just a plate in between the block & sump pan?

Am keen to do some deals. Or if someone can provide everything I need, in Mint condition I will be happy to SWAP for a Personalised Plate or 2! Just send me your offers. And Photos is a MUST. I am not interested if you cany provide photos. Sick of replying to people who email me and then dont hear back cos I ask for photos. So dont bother unless you got photos of what I want!

Cheers

I have another sump if you need...bad luck on the mishap

That WILL fit mine? have tried so many people on Trademe but NO one has one that will fit. I been told it must be '88 or newer and must be for 1.8 (or 1.6)? Whats yours? How much? I may need the block too, unless someone knows yay or nay?

OK well. I literally smashed my sump pan in my 318i. Heres some photos. Anybody know if its worth trying to fix or just get a whole new engine or what? Car was only running for 30secs after sump was smashed and still had Oil in it before I completely stopped, but been told I may have f--ked a bearing? Any one know? Not rich, so just want some straight up good advice...

Who would I talk to in Hamilton (prefered) about doing it for me as I am clueless with this type of work, esp in a BMW! Not a mechanic, Im only 22 and slowly learning about cars but this is just too much to take in atm. I am happy to do a cashy job.

The red circle is to show where a bit of the block or some plate has also been ripped off with the sump pan?

ANY HELP MUCHLY APPRECIATED!

Im new here, but Im keen on a pair! Since they are Black no need for me to paint them...yay. Been looking for ages for Eyelids!
