I bought them some time ago, they are from a BMW but am unable to to find out which model they are for, I have tried Google and Realoem but have had no joy.

Part number's: 11621318211 / 11621318210

Stamped with BMW and made by Bischoff

Thank you

This is what I was lead to believe Si, but have been informed they are not... I checked on Realoem and the picture is totally different.

It was the air pipes near the gasket faces that made me think that... :?

Correct! The realOEM/ETK picture is just to identify an exhaust manifold - it could show a cast iron one.

The pics on my OEM look fairly close Andy........ But those part numbers dont seem to exist :? E34 M5 part numbers are close ...........
HTH :D

They are connected to an air pump and it's to reduce the emissions by mixing air with the exhaust gasses to create carbon dioxide and water instead of carbon monoxide. :D

I've got a pic of an S38 manifold set-up in front of me from a 3.6 M5 and there's not much difference. The caption reads that the 3.8 version is very similar to this, so i would say it's from the 3.8 version..
