Hi guys, right i have a simple question, does the 325i inlet manifold fit on to a 320i block?
E30 the only bm to have.

this has been asked many times before,
yes it fits but its pointless as you would need to port the head for it to mate up with each other, or you would have a lip, and the flow wont be as smooth as it should

That said, does anyone know how well the 325i inlet manifold mates up to the 325i head?

Bet it's not all that great.

Also, the castings are as rough as bollocks which can't help air flow :(
