Replacing your oil pan can be necessary if you own an older BMW or yours has become dented or damaged. Not only does this part hold all of the oil the internal baffle structure prevents starvation under cornering and acceleration. Making sure your oilpan is intact and leak free will prevent problems down the road.
The Achilles Motorsports Oil Pan Baffle was designed and manufactured to be used on racing, high-performance track, and street driven cars. Each baffle is precision laser cut from .090" heat-treated aluminum then hand-assembled and test fit to ensure accuracy and ease of installation. Achilles Motorsports' baffle design incorporates dual trap doors and a unique oil deflector that prevents oil from splashing out of the sump under hard braking. Together, these help minimize the sloshing of the oil inside the oil pan and keep oil accumulated around your pickup tube. The factory BMW oil pan doesn't do a very good job of keeping oil accumulated around the oil pick-up tube in high g-force situations. By keeping oil accumulated around the pickup tube you can eliminate the costly loss of oil pressure and potential damage to other vital engine parts commonly caused by high g-forces from hard acceleration and braking and high-speed cornering. Professional welding is required for installation! During installation, while the oil pan is removed, we HIGHLY RECOMMEND upgrading your factory oil pump with the Achilles Motorsport Upgraded Oil Pump Shaft Kit (T#1150772). After numerous instances of sheered-off oil pump shafts and oil pump nuts coming loose, resulting in an instant loss of oil pressure, Achilles decided to come up with a solution - Don't let it happen to you!
