WTB: Oil Filter Housing - Z3 2.5i (01 - 02)

[mgbguy]

Well, I'm an idiot. This morning I over tightened the alternator pulley and the long screw broke apart the shaft it screws into on the oil filter housing. It seems fine to drive for now, but I thought I'd see if someone out there is parting out a Z3 and would want to sell this.

Thanks,

See if it's the same part as the S52 engine. I have one.

EDIT: I looked, it's not the same.

Hey, you got an oil filter housing for an S52 motor?

Wonder if I can retrofit.

How much you want?

An S52 oil filter housing will fit an M54.
u will just need a different oil filter. just remember to get a s52 oil filter instead of an M54.

My question to the op is how the fuck did he manage to crack that housing?
buy ur self a torque wrench because u defiantly will do some more damage in the future without out knowing what u did to that housing.

You don't need it tight. Just a little snug. Hand tight with those gripper gloves is more than good.

I have boxes of the other oil filters, so I would rather have only one oil filter around for the Z and the coupe. I have been buying the ones for the 2.8 one at a time.

I have a s52 one kicking around, figure $60 shipped.

Dont forget if you get an S52 one, i believe the caps are different so youll need that too.

The S52 oil caps are cheap though. I have two or three of them. I couldn't get the cosmoline off mine, so I just got a new one and polished that one.
