[pete1247]

hi there guys has anyone got an e34 sump with the pick up pipe an dipstick been running around most of the day carnt get one anywhere and noone want to break an engine for a sump will the m20 sump fit

[Duke137]

They are quite tricky to get hold of tbh mate be prepared to spend about £90 +

only other sump that will fit is apparently off a 728 not sure which one though

[Duke137]

Oh and no M20 sump doesn't fit

Exactly.... £90 all in is a fair guess if you can find one!

I got a sump from the scrap yard but only a sump. Just ordered my pick up pipe and dip stick new. £70 all in.

[craigieeb]

Aye the prices of these are ridiculous,
prices are only bumped up because people know the engine conversion cant be completed without it



Pete1247..
you could p.m MarkT
he's using one off a 728, and apparently they fit
just ask him which one he's using?

thanks guys been on the phone to bmw oil pick up is around £24 and dipstick was only cheap so i ordered them an eurocarparts might be able to get a new sump they are getting back to me in the morning but sounds expensive

[Duke137]

Stick to a 2nd hand sump mate

Cost of new will tear you a new arse hole.

[DanThe]

A new one is over £300, probably £400 now the way the prices are going up

[pete1247]

well if it turns out to be that much i may end up buying a complete engine anyway just for the sump how anoying just for a sump ill let you know tomorow how much a new one is im hoping cus it eurocarparts an not main dealer it will hopfully be a lot cheaper

[staley_turbo]

It won't be "cheap" mate anyway!

Stick an ad on BMW5.co.uk see if someone is breaking an E34?

Also, just fire off loads of emails everywhere, ebay breakers, parts finders, bmw specialists, other forums, I bet someone comes back with something mate, I had the same problem, got offered 2 of them and one turned up at the local scrappers so ended up getting one for £15. Don't give up too easy

A new one is over £300, probably £400 now the way the prices are going up

Yep

[pete1247]

hi people managed to get a sump today £20 thank god was getting worried as euro couldnt get one in the end im gonna try sort some pictures out to

[pete1247]

well it looks just like the m20 sump apart from the hole is there for the dipstick just hope its the right one i havent got any pictures of the sump yet cus i gave it straight to my alley welder due to a small crack in it good job i noticed it he wanted £45 for it

You can use the inlet manifold as well from the m50 if you endup buying a complete engine. I must have got lucky with mine, 2min search and a phone call later and I had it.

[pete1247]

Hey i think i might have a sump but its from a 2.0l does anyone know if it will fit the 2.5 block ok

[Jozi]

I think it does so long it's got the sump pan to the front of the engine.

[Duke137]

It fits mate, they are all the same

[Duke137]

I think it does so long it's got the sump pan to the front of the engine.

[pete1247]

[Duke137]

No prob, but be advised they are a royal pain in the arse to remove if the engine isn't out! Even with the car on its side, took me about 3 hours

Good luck!

[pete1247]
