Hi, I'm getting ready to do my first BMWCCA auto-x in my '88 M3. I've heard that you can get low pressure in hard cornering, and was wondering if anyone knew where to get a baffled pan or a better baffle for the stocker.

Thanks

TMS Sells an oil pan baffle.

www.turnermotorsport.com

Check through their website, this is the only one that I know of.

Hope this helps

Korman and Bavarian Autosport. I believe all companies send a new lower oil pan gasket along with the baffle. The paper gasket lasts much longer than the cork.

If you have oil leaks (common), clean the engine with decreager, first. I like Gunk Engine Brite. Buy a few cheap paint brushes and some parts brushes to loosen thick gunk deposits.

Korman's site has a page on E30 M3 racing tips.

turner or you can go to BMP Design (http://www.bmpd.com)

I think the BMP one is a little cheaper.
