Description
This Sikky BMW E46 3 Series LSX mid sump oil pan is made to help simplify your LS swap conversion, manufactured right here in the USA. We build our oil pans with a ½” thick 6061 billet aluminum flange and back plate to provide superior strength that will outlast and outperform other pans available. Our 100% aluminum design allows the Sikky pan to be lightweight and extremely durable unlike flimsy steel sheet metal pans. As with all Sikky products, this pan was tested under rigorous track conditions to ensure our customers are provided with only the highest quality parts for their LS swap!
Pan Features:
- Designed to fit perfectly around the front sub frame of the BMW E46 3 Series chassis when using a Sikky mount kit
- High capacity 5 1/2” deep front sump design with side kick outs for maximum oil capacity
- 1/2” thick CNC machined 6061 Billet Aluminum Flange and back plate
- Machined gasket surface to ensure no gasket leaks
- Rigid design like the OEM GM pan to ensure maximum strength and durability
- Included back plate compatible with factory dust covers to prevent debris entering the bell housing
- High ground clearance design keeps the pan from hanging out the bottom of the car
- High capacity 5 quart sump (does not include oil filter or oil filter relocation)
Fitment Notes:
- Designed to fit perfectly in the BMW E46 (2000-2006)
- Designed to use LS3 dipstick and tube. OEM GM tube 12625031, stick 12669528
