ED1RTY 2 Report post Posted November 28, 2007 As im in the process of gathering all the bits together for my M50 conversion I need to know whether or not the Oilpan, Oil Pickup and Dipstick tube from the M50B20 and M50B25 are the same? I.E will the B20 pan bolt up to the B25 and can the B20 pan be used in the coversion to the E30. Cheers Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ED1RTY 2 Report post Posted November 30, 2007 Yea sorry Glenn I got tied up with the other half haha, will come up this Sunday though. Ive found that the 2 litre and 2.5 litre sump are the same part numbers so I can score a sump etc much cheaper than expected. Although a few 2.5's have popped up lately so might just go for one of them. Just ordered new hub assemblies and cups/caps for the front struts, some parts Ex-Germany (Thanks Euro Italia) Coilovers are coming ex-USA should be here next week and should be all ready to install mid December. BTW Glenn have been a member on R3V for a long time haha sourced my coilovers through that site, has also been very useful for the DOCH swap.

hybrid 1043 Report post Posted November 30, 2007 Will post a photo when I get home of our m50b25 5series sump on the s50 (what you will need to do) bolts straight onto the bottom end, you need to get a new oil pickup / pump as the sump oil "well" is positioned the other way around to clear the e30 cross-member.
