Sold the wrong oil pan HELP!
 

I need to replace my oil pan and was sold the wrong pan. The pan I have is a m42 with smooth gasket. The pan I was sold had the slotted type gasket for m44. Question? Can I used the M44 pan with the slotted gasket on my M42? Thanks

I think its the oil pump that needs to be swapped for the pan to work. If they are even compatible.... This happened to a buddy of mine when combining the m42 and m44 parts

the pans look just a like but the gaskets are different.

realoem shows the same pan used on all E36 M42 & M44
