Doing a 2.5L now ... Easiest type to fit??? Iv got a E36 M52 with the cast type? Are they going to be able to be fitted ?
Or should I be looking for the tubular type?
Cars going yo have a E46 rack aswell in it...

M52 engines all have the tubular manifolds, no point messing with the cast M50 scrap

It's an 93 2.5L E36 an has the cast type also got single vanos
Cast won't fit ? Or not very good?

If its a 93 then your engine is an M50

M50 engines have an iron block. M52s are aluminium alloy.
