This is my bmw 316, and as you might notice its a bit high on the front. I want to go lower but im scared beacuse ive been through many sumps! I know there is sump guards about but im looking for a shallower sump pan. Does anybody know if anywhere sells these because that would be perfect!!

If you can help, many thanks

Lewis :D

Front looks spot on to me, although the back looks a little low.
No such thing as a shallower lower sump that I know of, and if there was, it would need a shorter oil pick up to go with it.
