S54/ E28

Post by jdp530 »

Does anyone have photos of a modified S54 oil pan fitted into an E28? I am wondering how much work is involved versus using the M50 pan with baffle. Thanks, JP

There is an oil pan that will fit. I did my swap 15 years ago and would have to do a little digging if you need it. I added the baffles from Korman.

I used the M50 in my swap. If you modify the S54 pan to work with the stock subframe you, in general, end up with the single pickup m50 oil pan. If your plan is to fabricate a new engine subframe then you might be able to use the S54 pan and the front and rear oil pickup.

I was dissapointed not being able to use the S54 pan on my swap, that thing is a total work of art.
