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

Re: Replacement Panels
Yes I know had a few estimates and it’s looking like £500
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
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
