BMRBOI 8 Report post Posted July 21, 2011 Hey guys, posted this on my project build. My issue is im swapping an M50 525i engine into my 325i. That means i have to change the oil pan, pickup and baffle over to the 525i engine. The 525i engine does not have a mounting bracket for the e36 oil pickup. If i undo the bolts to attach the bracket then i will have to replace them as they are stretch bolts. Any ideas? The top picture is the 325i engine with the bracket. The bottom pic is the 525i engine with the 325i pickup but no support bracket. Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
