Re: S50 oil filter housing?

I would think so as the only differance is the s50 has the oil cooler outlets? But not 100%, i have an s50 one under my desk as im making up some outlet pipes.

Re: Just how poor a drive is a 316i?

I used to drive 325i but when it failed its MOT through rust, looking for another one i saw a 316 for sale and bought it because it was very solid.

The insurance was only £30 cheaper but it is cheaper on fuel.

But i bought it to put the m52 in it winkeye

Re: Replacement Panels

Yes I know had a few estimates and it’s looking like £500 8O to do it properly as it has a few holes in the usual places which need sorting.

I think it’s worth saving.

Replacement Panels

My poor 325 has failed its MOT today :cry: and needs some welding done in a few areas, some replacement sills for both sides of the car and a rear arch, I don’t really want to buy genuine parts as not got the budget for those, but can any one recommend a good fitting after market supplier?

Thanks
