Description
Through experimentation and data acquired from the E36 World Challenge Touring Cars, it was discovered that in long corners and under heavy braking there was an oil starvation problem in the M50 and M52 engines.
This baffle system was developed to keep oil in the sump and eliminate the starvation problem. After several iterations, further testing and data acquisition in the Touring Cars showed that this system eliminates the problem of oil starvation.
This is a less expensive alternative to replacing the stock oil pan with the factory BMW M3 Lightweight oil pan, while still achieving the similar results.
*Requires Professional Welding
Estimated Volumetric Shipping Weight : 17.00 Kg
