Oil Pan Baffle - S65 E9X M3

When driving your E90/E92 M3 on the track you must pay attention to oil pressure. During prolonged hard cornering, oil shifts away from the oil pump pickups and leaves the pumps sucking fumes - not good at all for the health of your engine! Rod bearing lubrication is already a hot topic so don't let oil starvation be a contributing factor. You can help prevent oil starvation by welding this baffle into the oil pan. It does a better job of keeping a plentiful supply of oil near the pump pickups. Trap doors allow oil to flow to each pump but not away from them.

Installation requires the removal and major modification to the stock oil pan (bottom of pan needs to be cut away). While oil starvation is not as common as it once was, the E9X M3 is capable of huge cornering forces, especially with slick tires. Short of a full dry-sump system (costing over $7,000) this is the best way to keep oil where it needs to be.

A new oil pan gasket is required (see below).
