[Fastfred92]

What type oil pan or oil pan mods are the E36 325 guys using and what is the best rear diff to use ?

Stock Pan, Quaife diff, ratio is track dependant of course.

Stock Pan, LS diff, ratio is track/tire size dependant of course.

No need for any additional baffles? Accusump?

Fred.
I use the stock pan and no Accusump, unlike my e-30 that required all of the above and then some.

For diff I use 3.6 with reshimmed stock LSD. With 16" wheels.

Stock pan, baffled, 1 extra quart of oil.
Quaife with whatever ratio works best (3.64).
Fluidyne radiator, no fan.

Thanks Dan, homemade baffles or something out there to buy?....

If you've got money to burn I'm sure I could find something...

Check out VAC Motorsports website, they have E36 oil pan baffles. No affiliation.

My baffle were just basic Turner items.
