Are these suitable for a RHD facelift 325i and are they genuine Hartge ones? Discuss please :D

I don't think they're genuine, the collectors don't look right. If he could send some more photos of the primaries you would be able to see whether or not they have the Hartge tags present.

Here's a pic of a RHD Hartge manifold:

Indeed that was my first thought that they dont look quite right, but its been a while since I've seen the real deal. There is only one type of RHD Hartge 6 branch manifolds for the M20 right?

they're a bit suspect I think, as mentioned the collectors don't look right, or nice.. cheap tubular manifold & does look like it's RHD fittment..

not sure how many but I'm sure there are a few shapes in RHD

Seller answered a question at bottom of ebay page it says...

Q: Hi, Would they fit to a LHD E30 ? Regards Paul 12-Jun-09
A: Hi, yes they will fit l/h drive E30. Wendy

Fit left hand drive hmmmm, I agree they also don't look right, and the buy it now was originally £160 as e30topless mentions
