Can any of you S50 swappers that have had the rear branch modified post up a pic of the manifold fitted?

I'm interested to see proximity to the column

cheers

Yours has more room than mine.. And less weight being thrown about..

I assume they are stiffer then?

I've got 2 from an M5 that look like No. 8..

You mean the round ones, like the E34 M50 uses? I would think the E28 M5 mounts are stronger but the E34 ones are much softer than those in my pic, you cant 'push' the engine by hand at all

e28 M5..

Not tried the push by hand test.. I'll give it a go!
