Anthony M3 22 Report post Posted February 10, 2015 Found out today that my M needs a new sump and oil filter housing gaskets Team Mc milan think $1500 +, wanting anyones opinion if this sounds right etc. Are the factory sumps baffled ? or would I be better off getting a baffled sump ? etc 03 E46 M3 Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FIAT 131R 223 Report post Posted February 10, 2015 (edited) The oil pump in the E46 M3 is dual pick up and the sumps are quite different to most BMW sumps. Give me a call on 021 449 242 and we can talk price. It's a long way short of $1500 I can tell you. I also have the complete bottom end gasket kit. The E46 M3 sump and oil pump are good upgrades for the E36 M3 B32 engines. I have some conversion kits. Edited February 10, 2015 by FIAT 131R Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anthony M3 22 Report post Posted February 10, 2015 Is your sump damaged or is it just a case of a leaking gasket? I honestly don't know, might have to come up have a chat so you can check her out. don't want to pay to replace the whole thing if it is just the gasket.

Anthony M3 22 Report post Posted February 10, 2015 Don't you have to hit something hard to damage the sump? I'd definitely get one of our sponsors/contributors to have a look at it before committing. Yea exactly what I thought also, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
