A drop in oil pressure can spell disaster at the wrong time. Although most modern BMWs do not have an oil pressure gauge, the DME continually monitors internal pressure and will let you know if there is a problem with the pump.
This pump features two important upgrades: This pump is engineered with VAC's famous Oil Pump Upgrade kit integrated in its design; this means a stronger gear drive mechanism for much lower likelihood of pump failures on the track. VAC has not only improved the physical reliability of the pump itself but also fit a custom gear with a larger sweep area to the pump mechanism, increasing volume by a welcome 22% An excellent upgrade for Road Race, Autocross, Time Attack, Drift, Hill Climb, Rally, Drag Race, Roll Race & forced induction applications. Lubrication issues are a common killer of BMW engines. The dual-pickup pump is much better than a standard single pickup, but this pump is a dramatic improvement over both.
