Lhd exhaust manifold

Will a LHD manifold fit a RHd car or will steering column get in the way?? Anyone have any idea?

what engine?

Doubt very much it will fit any models anyway, otherwise they wouldn't produce two different manifolds i guess!

I think beem has answered your question above!

Back on topic, i doubt very much if the LHD manifold will fit a RHD 318iS.

Would it be a case of steering column being in the way as engine sits on the same side on both cars?

Yep steering column would be in the way...

Cantact Sal (M5Pilot) in tbe zone shop, he might be able to source you a RHD manifold...
