£114 from the dealers

Or the for sale threads.

I got mine for £40

They come up on ebay ever so often... or dealers!

Most South.African cars have them on as standard...

I had a car with one a while ago, as it was sitting a little bit lower it would continually "twang" on speed bumps, people always thought Iwas doing damaged to the car...

Its also a complete arse to change the oil...it goes everywhere!

That doesn't look like any genuine BMW sump guard that i've seen before. Genuine ones are much bigger and beefier than that.

must be why we have different fitting undertrays then Ian

i want one!

This is what mine looks like:



Regarding the undertray. Looking at that picture reminded me that I didn't have to trim the undertray to fit the sumpguard, it was to clear the M50 sump itself.

Ian.

did you make that?!

I assure you it is a fuckin real one - standard oe fit to SA cars. I've never seen a blue whale in the flesh, does that mean they aren't real?

ETK/realoem won't show it because they've got bugger all info on SA spec E30's - try popping an SA Vin in and see what comes up?

Dan, I'm still working on the piccies

Yeah - I have one of these: it came off a SA import too. Pays to stick a cut top hose up the hole to the sump drain hole when draining the oil, or like someone said - it goes everywhere.....

Calm down dear

Any need for the attitude?

boomer wrote:Dan, I'm still working on the piccies

OK mate, cheers

Actually yes because the statement implies that the one I sold Dan was not a genuine one.

Especially when It's my photo showing the sumpguard.

Attitude?

Not me fella, I know you mods are far to busy for that

I need one because the old M30 sump is too low, i wonder if the gen BMW one would fit ?

I don't want this again

I will be making one for mine.

So is that yes attitude, or no attitude?

Ian made a fair comment about never seeing one before, (neither have I) we all learn something new, and it seems that the one pictured is SA only, hence not many people on a UK forum seeing them before.

There was no need for the language.

I thought that it looked familiar

I dont think Ian was implying anything mate, just one of those "written word" misunderstanding thingymajigs

DanThe wrote: I dont think Ian was implying anything mate, just one of those "written word" misunderstanding thingymajigs

Exactly

What I said was:

'That doesn't look like any genuine BMW sump guard that i've seen before."

I didn't say it wasn't genuine, just that it's not like the ones I have ever seen. I've got a totally different BMW sump guard on my car, so it was a fair statement.

Just chill out. Life's to short to get stressed on an Internet forum (or anywhere else for that matter)

Ian.

Consider the effects on cooling when choosing.

Ian, Simon:

I humbly apologise for my gross over reaction and use of profanity on this thread.

I will retreat to my corner and perform several days of ritual flagelation in pennance.
