Need to purchase upper & lower oil pan for M42 engine for a  E30 BMW.  I have checked the M42 Club ads but the members that has offered them for sale does not respond to my inquiries for purchase. Please contact me through the M42 Club Forum or e-mail me direct at billhutchsat@hotmail.com or telephone # (210)662-4086 with purchasing and shipping information. I am anxious to acquire these oil pans so I can make a M42 engine swap into my E21 BMW........Bill...San Antonio, Texas

Dean...Thank you for your reply on  my needs to purchase the upper & lower oil pan for my M42 engine.  A San Antonio wrecking yard ordered a set of pans for me on Friday, July 19, from an out of town wrecking yard for $200.00 plus sales tax.  I would have ordered the pans from the source you provided to me if I would have read your reply prior to my ordering of the pans.  I am going to keep your reply handy in case I'm in need of other merchandise.
