Hi I'm looking into converting my e30 to a 335 I've got a complete set up out of a friends e28 , but so I under stand I need the sump and pick up from the e32 /e34 as its of a lower profile to clear the cross member ? What I would like to know is a rough cost of these parts and are they easily obtainable .. Thanks all .

You can use the E28 sump but it will need cutting a re-welding (it has been done a few times)

If your set on getting a E34/32 sump then put a wanted ad up here..

Thats for an M50/52 Mick, M30 sump will be cheaper.

There was an e34 sump on ebay the other day for not a lot of cash, £30ish I think, worth a look, try searching 'm30 sump'

Don't forget that not all E34 325s have a M50 engine. Early ones were M20.

None of which are any use on an M30.
