Plastic oil pan
Does the 235 have a metal oil pan?
Just reading new VW Golf MKVII has a plastic oil pan. I'm not sure how I feel about plastic oil-pans? |

Most non xDrive cars with N20 (228i) have a plastic oil pan. Some N20 also have a plastic oil filter housing.
I've seen a few early production F30 335i (N55) with a plastic oil filter housing. ZF auto transmission oil pans have been plastic for years. Even saw a rear transmission mount on a F10 that was plastic. Nice thing about plastic? It doesn't corrode. |
