Does anyone know if an E36 325i manifold will fit the E30 325i?
I would buy a 6 branch but don't have the money at the mo. The E36 has two braches of 3 so that would help things flow better (I think lol).
Me mate has a spare E36 one and I just got thinking. Really hate the look of the E30 manifold so ugly looking!!

Hmmm, yes you could persuade one to fit mate, but its a lot of work and I can see no real gains to be had from it, the ports wont line up and will be too wide for starters.
later cast manifold flows pretty well anyways.
better bang for the £Â£ going a different route IMHO, ditching the AFM for starters

Mightn't be very pretty, but it works well enough.
E36 manifold has a completely different bolt pattern.
