<E30> Oil Pan - Reply



To answer the oil pan question:

The oil pan on my car (E30 325is) is a light alloy.  Could be
aluminum, could be aluminum magnesium.  Can't say for
sure.  The engine block is cast iron, which is a pretty
standard block material.

The oil pan on the 318 and the 325e could be some other
material (like a stamped steel piece).
