Do BTB do a 6 branch for the M30?

[Jos]

Had a look on their webby but it's a silly Flash thing and there is very little information about what they actually provide for.

My manifold is cracked, and has been welded 2-3 times before, so I was thinking 6branch rather than replacing it with another manky cast thing.

Suppose I could just ring them in the morning

what m30 is it, an e28/e23 one?

if the manifold's buggered you could use e34 530i/535i ones instead, they fit the e30 better! cast, but still flow well - andy's still using the standard e34 manifold and running 250bhp ish...

Ta Toby, once again a gem of information, it's an e23 M30 (2nd Generation) and yes the current one is a little worse for wear.

Don't think I will be pushing more than 250bhp to start with anyway.

Still going to ring BTB for the laugh

tubular manifolds are still cool though!
think there might be problems with a 6 branch m30 manifold clearing the steering shaft in an e30 though

i put e34 535i manifolds on my e28 engine, a better solution for the e30. the port shapes were the same. then i went back to the same chap 3 months later and bought the rest of the engine
