Hi Jerry! Is that a pic of a E36/7 engine bay? When I spoke with Jim at Downing, the intake for the blower is different between the E36/5 (180 degree bend) and the E36/7 (135 degree bend). Brake booster/resivoir clearance differences. I know as I was evaluating picking up a DASD from a Z3 M44 for my 1997 318ti.

Jim at Downing says they can special order machine one if needed. ($300) I chose to wait and obtained one from a 97 318ti.

FYI, The intake manifold is a straight bolt on for either a M42/M44. I believe Artem picked on up from a M42 and had to find different pulleys for his M44.

FWIW, this kit looks in great shape with most of the parts needed for a pre 97. (M44 vs. M42 might be the difference) I believe there is an adapter plate needed if installed on a 97+ M44 if the EMS is not flashed, i.e. Nick's software.
