Thing is the m52 mani's need modifying to fit in your e30 so the flanges will be out of line, the downpipes would need modding to suit as far as I can see :)
A 2 door e30 with 8 cylinders, what could be better winkeye :D

Was the M50 2.0L an E36 or E34? I assume they are different also?
How do you pronounce 'either'? I say 'either', but some say 'either'. Either is correct.

Yeah there was an m50 2.0 in the e36's ferg, my mate had a 320 coupe e36....
Also they did the m52 323 which was actually a 2.5 by displacement but with the smaller inlet manifold same as the m52 8)

Yeah, I own an E36 323i dude lol

I was just thinking that the E34 mani shape was different anyway to E36 on all the M50/M52 genre?

E34 manifolds are a very different shape, same as the frontpipes
