When I was tearing my new engine down this weekend I found this:

WTF. Just spend a few buck on a oil pan for a junkyard! Looks like I will have to go through this motor a little more carefully than I first thought. :?

I don't really care, I just thought it was a weird fix. The hose clamp was broken too.

Now you know why I have a WTB in the classifieds for a new upper pan

Its bad enough finding bolts loose, but a hose clamp holding it together? Total w1n. I wonder how long it was running with that in there?

It don't get no more "GHETTO" than that.
WOW that is unbelievable.

Wonder how hard the PO cracked the lower pan? That's unreal. It's a tribute to BMW making good decisions though.

Afro-engineering at its finest.
