M50 vs M52 manifold

[m3f_hroller328_2f7be2e10c]

Hey guys, lets keep the rhetoric out of the conversation. I3MW is leading a good conversation and everyone can agree/disagree, but do back up with facts.


I3MW is a bud of mine. He's on the Mechanical Engineering track, and from what I have seen in the past 6 months, he will be a fantastic engineer. Being a young lad brings the drive to learn/understand, as well as win arguments. This old man (me) did it as well. :-)


**Eurosport kit vs Eric M50manifold.com**

I personally went with the Eurosport kit last spring, but if I had to do it again, would go with Eric's kit based on price. I believe he lowered the price to $135, right? More reason to do so.

I paid the Turner price to Eurosport. :-(


Eric still wants $195 for that kit? I thought I saw he lowered the price to $135 somewhere, oh well, perhaps wishful thinking.


BTW.. Who added those espanol lines to your pic? Very "ranchero" translation.

no fitment issues with eric's kit. smooth install. very detailed instructions. 24 hour service. standup guy. that right there is worth the additional $25 to me. 60k miles with his kit including a lot of hard track time and driven daily all year round. no issues.

I have the bimmerworld kit in my hands and the DEstructions are not even good...the parts look first rate tho. Can anyone email their more detailed INstructions to me??



Just found some manifold removal instructions from Pelican Parts...should help...but 1st regret on the BW kit!!

wouldn't having a lightweight(aluminum) flywheel offset the low end torque loss especially in the lower gears?(where you drive around town most) it would want to rev more freely in my thoughts and not be as doggy. course i could be wrong :clueless:

I had the same problem. The only other issue is the silicone hose ends up supporting the oil separator and IAC. No brackets to hold them and they are just hanging so it might shorten the life of the silicone hose.

As of today it's listed at $195. $135 sounds more reasonable though.
