Help me raise my M42
« on: May 13, 2011, 12:54:27 AM »
Hey all, So basically my 91 318is is fairly low (not slammed), but I've already gone through two oil pans, and my current one has a couple good scrapes on it. i know you can buy skid plates for these cars, but is there anyway to raise this motor at least a half inch?! Any and all help, would be much appreciated.

I found a skid plate here, not sure of quality (but it sure sounds good).

You could have a machine shop cut some large thick shims to slide under the mounts, but eventually you'll run the transmission into the top of the tunnel.
