The BMW block covers cast aluminum oil pans against 11 13 1 715 266 and 11 13 1 727 412 references. One number appears twice in the original catalog; both records are preserved here rather than merged, so nothing from the archive is lost.

What this block solves
The Sourcing Problem in BMW Parts
Cast pans for inline engines take load from the sump-to-block joint and from the transmission mount. Porosity or a warped flange shows up as a slow seep months after fitting, which is exactly the failure a workshop cannot charge for twice.
This block contains 3 oil pans. Where the archive stored an OE number, alternate numbers, a note or an application table, that data is published on the part page unchanged.
Who orders from this block
Aftermarket distributors
Warehouse distributors and wholesalers building coverage across a whole BMW number family rather than a single fast mover.
Engine rebuilders and workshops
Reconditioning shops and independent workshops that need the correct reference on the bench rather than a near equivalent.
Importers and private label brands
Brand owners who sell under their own label and need the factory behind that label to stay the same from season to season.
Capability behind the block
How BMW Parts Are Made
The manufacturing methods recorded on the original RUIFAN services page, applied to the references in this block.
Deep and shallow draw stamping
Steel pans drawn from sheet, with deep sections formed or welded in where the profile requires it.
Die, sand and gravity casting
Three casting routes so that volume, wall section and surface requirement can each be matched properly.
Chrome and vacuum metallization
Finishing processes listed on the original RUIFAN services page where a part calls for them.

How Will I Know I Have a Bad Oil Pan
How a failing oil pan announces itself, why a dent is usually not an emergency, and when replacement is the right call.
Do They Make Different Oil Pans
Why engine code, sensor-hole configuration and drain-plug position decide fitment, and how to use an OE number properly.
Stamped Steel vs Cast Aluminum Oil Pans
How a drawn steel pan and a cast aluminum sump differ in structure, failure mode and repairability, and what that means when you source a replacement.
BMW Sourcing Questions
How many BMW references does RUIFAN hold?
The catalogue holds 3 references in the BMW Parts block, out of 136 across the whole catalogue. All of them are listed on this page.
Can I order the whole BMW block in one shipment?
Yes. References in a block are normally quoted and shipped together, which is what makes the low-volume lines worth carrying at all.
Do you publish OE numbers for these parts?
Where the original catalogue database stored an OE number it is published on the part page. In this block 0 of 3 records carry one. Where nothing was stored, the page says so rather than showing a guess.
Is RUIFAN connected to BMW?
No. RUIFAN is an independent manufacturer in Ruian, Zhejiang. Vehicle manufacturer and model names are used for identification and reference only.
What if my BMW reference is not listed?
The original RUIFAN site stated the factory develops oil pans and other aluminum castings from customer-supplied samples or drawings. Send a sample, a drawing or a dimensioned photograph and we will review it.
