    I've got this cast iron exhaust manifold for sale. I've had it for a while lying at the back of the garage, it's better if on someone's car really. Not seen any like this for a while. Good for an E46 325 drift project? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/373176299401

    On the off chance anyone else has had a similar experience I thought I would ask. Unlikely I suspect, but here goes... I sheared one of the bolts refitting the inlet manifold. These are captive in the manifold housing. Is it possible to replace these or will it be easier to replace the whole...

    Hi I recently purchased a 2007 318D with M47 engine and following a bit of reading decided to give it some TLC by cleaning the inlet manifold and EGR valve. It's all back together and runs ok except for the nasty fault code - P0401 Exhaust Gas Recirculation Flow Insufficient Detected. In my...

    I have transplanted an E34 535i from an Alpina B10 3.5 into an E9 coupe. I did not fit the engine. I have recently taken the manifold off and there are two small pipes sticking out of the bottom which are not connected. They are obviously an air leak so the engine isn't running correctly, but...

    I have a 2011 X3 F25 3.0d with 70000 miles on it which has an inlet manifold with multiple small areas which have melted. The manifold has been under boost pressure at the time as the material has been pushed out from the inside of the manifold. The fault manifested itself as a burning smell...

    So I plan on swapping M52B28 into my e34 and I wanted to do the M50 intake manifold conversion. What I noticed that part numbers for M50 manifold are the same for M50TUB25, M50TUB20 and M50B20. The only different number is for M50B25. So is the only reasonable option the M50B25 manifold? Part...
