OK. I've done a few driving schools in the past twelve months; mostly autocross related. When I go around a very short oval course (to practice hairpin turns repetively) in one direction for any length of time, my oil pressure light comes on. (I think it comes on only when I'm making repetitive left turns.) So, I need an oil pan baffle. BMP Design sells one for the E30 M3. Where can I find one for my E28 M5? Thanks.

This sounds bad. I've enver had my oil pressure light come on, ever. My level light is a different story - i've had it come on when i've relaly been way short on oil, and i've had it come on just because it is crappy (i think i need to replace it). But never oil pressure.

I recently exploired motor replacement options. Your oil pressure light comes on in an S38, you shut the car off, and investigate. You dont keep driving :) I've had the oil low enough to be low on the dip stick, level sensor on, and still not had the pressure light so much as flicker. Something seriously bad is going on if you're seeing it come on.
