    E36 Heatshields

    Are these different across all the cars? I suppose they would be depending on exhaust and layout. Mine's not great and I have access to a 316i to pinch off it before it meets its end. Are they similar or are they swappable at all?

    my car was e36 1.6 and I put in 2.5 engine,heat shield is original 1.6 ones and seem to be exactly same,wondered this myself but when I fitted the exhaust it all seemed to match up perfectly to where the shields were,unless the thickness is different?

    The "one" to have: http://www.bimmerforums.co.uk/forum/f92/e36-how-fit-dave-f-induction-kit-t106486/

    Not made or sold anymore seemingly. You'd have to put a wanted ad up or get the specs maybe. Lots of internet reviews to be had.

    Would you be pushed though?

    Do you mean your looking for an intake thahas the filter down behind the bumper?

    Google the E36 Dinan intakes if you are. If not, then feel free to disregard this
