I have an 89 325i, and I want to know if the oil pan from an 84 528i will fit, because I was under the assumption that they both had M20 in them. Please let me know before I waste money. Thanks for your help...

some quick checking... in 1984 there was a 528e, not i.

Which seems to suggest that these are two different parts.
