Fitment questions
Will a sump from an E46 M3 fit my E46 M3 – does the year matter within that generation?
The E46 M3 ran from 2001 to 2006 and was powered throughout by the S54B32 straight-six, so the engine code is consistent across the entire run and year matters very little for the sump itself. That said, minor ancillary or mounting changes can occur mid-production, so confirm the exact part against your registration with the breaker before buying. Never assume fitment without that check.
Can I use a sump from an E90/E92 M3 on my E46 M3?
These are different generations with completely different engines – the E46 M3 uses the S54B32 inline-six while the E90/E92/E93 M3 (2007–2013) uses the S65B40 V8 – so the sumps are not interchangeable. Always match the sump to the engine code, not just the M3 badge. Confirm the exact code from your V5 or a VIN check and supply it to the breaker.
Does a sump from a 2008 E90 M3 fit a 2012 E92 M3?
Both the E90 saloon and E92 coupe M3s share the same S65B40 V8 engine, so body style does not affect sump fitment and parts from either body can potentially suit the other. However, small production changes can occur across a model run, and the E92 M3 did receive updates during its 2007–2013 lifespan, so confirm the specific part against your registration with the breaker. Engine code matching is the key check here.
Does trim level affect which sump I need – for example, does a Competition Pack M3 need a different sump?
The Competition Pack is a handling and chassis upgrade and does not change the engine, so it has no bearing on sump fitment whatsoever. A sump from a standard M3 of the same generation will be the same part as one from a Competition Pack car. Focus on matching the engine code, not the trim designation.
Will a sump from an F80 M3 fit an E90 M3?
No – the F80 M3 (2014–2018) uses the S55B30 turbocharged straight-six, which is a completely different engine to the S65B40 V8 found in the E90 M3, so the sumps are not interchangeable. Always identify your engine code from the V5 or a VIN check and give that to the breaker rather than relying on the M3 name alone.
I have an E90 M3 – will a sump from an E92 or E93 M3 also fit, given they are the same generation?
The E90 saloon, E92 coupe, and E93 convertible M3s all use the S65B40 V8, so body style does not determine sump fitment and parts across these three body styles are potentially compatible. Minor mounting or ancillary differences can exist, so confirm the part number against your specific registration with the breaker before purchasing. Supplying your engine code alongside your reg gives the breaker the best chance of matching the correct part.
