I need a favor from someone in Europe. I found a part that is only available in Europe. If someone can source the part, (and it's resonably priced) I'll hook you up with some cash for the work. Is anyone interested? This is the part: http://www.emotors.ca/Articles/148.aspx O.E.M. oil filter housing cover, cast in aluminum with a threaded receptacle for an oil pressure gauge. It was included as standard equipment on the special edition E36 318is Class ll Motorsport Edition (homologated for the touring car championships). It was also an option in Europe for the E36 with M42 and M44 engines. Great for the street and track. With this description, I don't think it should be a problem finding one. Let me know if you can help, or if you know of any online BMW parts departments. Thanks! __________________

i'm REALLY hoping the part # they show on the bag is the correct one. Dusten and i both checked the ETK and didn't find it in there. the word "tool" in the description on the bag worries me a bit. Dusten and i were also discussing the possible issues with the location of the threaded receptacle which is right where most oil cap removal tools sit. you'll need another method for removing the cap. it would be nice to have an oil pressure sending unit up there rather than having it in the oil drain plug like some others have done. i'm potentially interested  __________________ 1996 318ti, California package, 267k miles

part number shown on the website Dusten linked to is:
88 88 6 117 330
Bag shown in the picture lists it as "M42 Oil Filter Tool," but the description listed elsewhere is, "O.E.M. oil filter housing cover, cast in aluminum with a threaded receptacle for an oil pressure gauge. It was included as standard equipment on the special edition E36 318is Class ll Motorsport Edition (homologated for the touring car championships). It was also an option in Europe for the E36 with M42 and M44 engines."
EDIT: If you can get a description for that Part Number (if they can even find it) and report back what it is, that'd be great. i'd hate to order the wrong thing. __________________ 1996 318ti, California package, 267k miles

I just need the cap with the threaded receptacle for an oil pressure gauge. PM me when you know more. I really appreciate this!!! Thank you! __________________

davep-uk ... once that part comes in for Dusten, would you be willing to take a pic and post it so we can confirm it's the one we're hoping it is? if so, others may be interested in getting one (including me). we'll definitely give you something for all your time you're really helping us out! __________________ 1996 318ti, California package, 267k miles
