Anyone got a spare oil pan?

[Hallmark]

Since I got the 528 as my daily driver I've been letting my daughter drive my 525. She's 19 and a pretty good driver...I thought. In a moment of total...call it what you will, she decided to drive straight out of a parking space and drove over a cement parking bumper. She went over to her boyfriend's house and as she was getting ready to leave the boyfriend looks down and notices a pool of oil coming out from under the car.

She scraped the bottom off the oil pan and opened a big crack down one side. She also scraped metal off the lower control arms, but at least those I can pick up from BMA.

So...anyone got a line on a good used oil pan for a '95 525?

if it's not too bad (missing pieces) it can be welded try a boat shop that does prop work, the one down the street does them for me $20-40 just clean it before taking it to them

I killed a renta car once like that.... was dark and raining.... was in a turn only lane by accident and swerved late... jumped a small concrete median and wiped out the pan... car died 5 miles later...

Those E34M50 pans are in high demand- they are the pan used to install an M50/S50/S52 etc into the E30, so you can expect to pay ~$175-200 at least IF you can find a used one. New pans are available for ~$250-275 or so, I think. Try BMA or one of the other parts suppliers- they probably will not have them on their site, but should be able to get one for you.

I have one, but it's attached to an engine....

For those prices I think I'll look into fixing what I've got. Winfred, I appreciate the suggestion about the prop welder, but right now I'm thinking along the lines of JB Weld.

been there done that, the JB weld gets saturated from the oil and will start leaking within a couple days...but feel free, I might have done a half ass job.

I agree... not sure I would trust JB weld on something like that...
