No M30 engine I've had the pan off of has had a baffle, but it's deep enough I doubt that you would be able to sustain enough G Force to starve the sump of oil. Just an opinion, though.

Does anyone know if our e28's have an oil pan baffle?? I recently attended my first auto cross event, and heard a horror story from on 02 driver that said his oil pump sucked air during a hard corner causing serious engine damage. It was an autocross school and I've never had so much fun in my life. I know my cars limits better than I thought. TIA
