jassi Posted December 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 First hurdle was the sump as the bowl was on the rear were as the E30 needs the bowl on the front, the options were to buy a E38 730d lhd sump for £400 or modify the M50 sump as it was 5mm or so longer towards the crankshaft pulley. therefore the M50 sump was the option i went for. momo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
