    E39 525i LS swap Oil pan option

    I am in the middle of a LS swap into my e39 525i and I found an oil pan that has similar dimensions to the Autokraft pan that is know to work. Can anybody with experience let me know if this is would fit?

    I don't know for sure, but it looks promising...Seller offers a 30 day return policy (you pay shipping) so that might be worth a look.

    I believe the autokraft pan, which I have seen, is steel, this one is aluminum...which I don't thing is a big difference.

    In a racing/drift application, you would want the baffles included in the autokraft pan.

    The one from Speedway motors is a bit less expensive than the Autokraft, and fits perfectly with the JF mounts.

    Thanks I ordered the Speedway motors pan today. Some good sales going with them right now.
