LONDON, June 27 (Reuters) - A drop in autos stocks after Germany's Schaeffler cut its profit outlook and disappointment over a failed buyout of Stada hit European shares on Tuesday, offsetting gains among basic resources firms and Spain's Bankia .

The pan-European STOXX 600 .STOXX index fell 0.3 percent, and blue chips .STOXX50E were 0.4 percent lower. Germany's DAX .GDAXI was 0.4 percent weaker.

Autos .SXAP were the biggest pain point in Europe, falling 1.4 percent after German auto parts supplier Schaeffler SHA_p.DE slashed its profit guidance on growing price pressures and high costs. shares tumbled 11 percent, set for their biggest one-day fall since its 2015 IPO.

German drugmaker Stada STAGn.DE was another sizeable faller, dropping 6.7 percent after private equity groups Bain Capital and Cinven failed to win the required shareholder acceptances to take over the firm. So far this year Stada's shares have rallied nearly 26 percent, boosted by buyout talks. banks were a bright spot as investors cheered Bankia's BKIA.MC move to buy smaller peer BMN in a deal worth around $924 million, a further step in cleaning up Spain's beleaguered banking sector. Bankia's shares rose more than 4 percent

Gains among mining firms Anglo American AAL.L , Rio Tinto RIO.L and BHP Billiton BLT.L helped prop up the basic resources sector .SXPP , which gained 1.3 percent. Britain's commodities-heavy FTSE 100
