If it's a 3.0 litre S50 then the M50 pickup will bolt directly to your oil pump, if its a 3.2 litre engine you'll need the oil pump from an M50b25/S50b30.

As for the baffles: remove any that clash (not sure which ones that is now)

Hope this helps dude.

Is it from a 5 series? (you need the sump from the 5 series M50)

i didn't have to remove the baffle off the e34 m50b20 sump that i fitted to my s50b32

There seems to be a bit of variation in M50 sump design. Some people have to remove it, some don't. It's a while since I did mine, but I don't recall having one fitted.

If it's in the way, then remove it.
