If it's an M40 engine'd car, the 4-branch from an M42-engined 318iS will probably fit, but any performance benefits will be minimal. Better off just fitting the whole engine.

How do you mean lower or stranger sumps?

I can sell you an excellent 318i engine for which will give you a much more noticeable power increase than a manifold / system for less money :)

M42 exhaust manifold will not fit an M40 engine.
Definitely better off fitting an M42 engine in place of the M40 though.

The OP possibly means a stronger sump, but quite why anyone would want a lower sump.... :mad:

Perhaps the OP requires a lower sump with an increased capacity so that he/she can carry strangers in it? :mad:
