    M50 manifold fitting kit.

    I bought an m50 manifold for my 323i but it appears it is not a direct swap as the throttle bodies are completely different.
    Could anyone tell me where I could get this kit? Done a small bit of research and didn't really come across much. Thanks.

    That's how mine looked like from eBay. No issues. No leaks.
    328 exhaust, M50 manifold and K&N kit ( separate from engine bay) gave me 208hp from my 323i



    Standard engine

    Is that 208 before or after remap or are the dyno just with and without manifold ?

    Do you not lose torque with these mods?

    Thanks steve, couldn't come across the website, I'm on the phone the laptop broke I messaged him on Facebook.

    Jesus lad that is some gain from 170bhp. Very tunable with the manifold I take it

    That's the dyno with M50 manifold, K&N kit and 328i exhaust and standard car- no modifications.
    No remap was done at all.
