mark247 39 Report post Posted May 11, 2010 Looking for a m5x sump with the oil pan on the front, not e36 style. Anyone got one available? Cheers, Mark Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mark247 39 Report post Posted May 11, 2010 Call Brent, he's got some, hit something? Certainly did. I can't remember what though because it happened yesterday, put a crack in the oil level sensor and a small one near it on the sump. Drove it today and found it pissing oil out, only lost a litre or so since yesterday though so no damage done internally. I'm looking for prices at the moment for a replacement sump, once I get this one off we'll weigh up whether it's possible to get fixed or should i fork out for another one.. Annoying thing is we need to take the gearbox off to get to the rear bolts as well because it's a getrag 240 (not designed for m50) so it has no holes in the bellhousing.
