I have a 2.8L out of a 1997 that I will soon be swapping in my 98 Ti...
Im looking to add the a OBDI M50 manifold, will I have any issues or need to buy anything else to make this work? IE : get it tuned, etc
Or is this a direct bolt on? __________________ 11/97 Base  328Ti

IIRC, the only thing that will need to be modified id the plastic cover since the M50 manifold has larger tubes. __________________ 4 MORE YEARS BABY!!! | | | | | 03-12-2008, 04:33 AM | #5 | | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2006 Location: maritimes Posts: 1,433 |
well it needs a bunch of little shizz i guess...
people sell kits but want $200 for a few pieces of silicone, PVC elbows and a gasket...
so this won't be happening for awhile __________________ 11/97 Base 328Ti

i hear really good things about the m50 manifold (been thinking about it myself) and I hear it's a less than a day project | | | | | 03-12-2008, 05:05 PM | #8 | | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2006 Location: maritimes Posts: 1,433 |
im absolutely going to pic-whore the crap out of you fellers when i get going  lol which will hopefully be soon. The car is going to get a fix up friday, because right now its undrivable (tore a line underneath) ... so once its drivable, im gonna keep it on the road for 3-4 days then she's going in the garage to start being tore apart!  I want to do the M50 manny swap, but for now that won't be in the budget, maybe that'll be a mid-summer mod http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum...anifold&page=1 __________________ 11/97 Base 328Ti
