M70/3 Intake manifold on M5x/S5x ?

[1996 318ti NY]

I know the bmw v12's are basically 2 of the straight 6's put together and i was curious if the manifold can bolt onto the s5x maybe it might be worth toying with?

I was on real oem and it appears to have a similar bolt pattern on the adapter to fit the manifold.

Injectors appear to be in the same general location as well.

this could be something to play with.

Anyone else have any thoughts on this?

The adapter might even be a cheap way to retrofit ITB's ?!

I thought a similar thing about the M62/M44 when I was looking at headers. That intake adapter is pretty cool though, maybe you could find someone parting out a 750/850 and get one for cheap to check it out.
