ClassE Posted November 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 SOMEONE needs to get me more info on this manifold. I need one of these - I hate the way the stock E30 mani looks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc43089 Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 That is blingin, seems like something that would be used with forced induction but I don't really know. Really cleans up the top of the engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasnt m3 Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 It's half of a v12 manifold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 ^What he said Someone made that using one of the manifolds from a v12. I dont think it was a bolt on affair. Snap would/should know more about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClassE Posted November 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 Found some more info on this.... 1 guy made that mani (I believe it's a welded assembly using the M20 flange and V12 runners/plenum) but no info on if it worked and how it ran. Bummer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClassE Posted November 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 Well..... Hoping that today is the day I get the E30 back. Gonna be watching my phone like a hawk!Next step is ordering coils. I've had my eyes on the BC's, anyone have experience with other coils around the $1k range worth mentioning. I like that the BC's have camber plates and are dampening adjustable..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Posted November 14, 2013 Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 Broadway Static is what will get you the lowest=) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian. Posted November 14, 2013 Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 Broadway Static is what will get you the lowest=) This. BWS is $$$ BUT, you still get quality ride, can pick your wheels off the ground an lay frame static if you so choose. And would still be great for a mild built car. BWS is on top of the game right now for coilovers IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClassE Posted November 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 Yeah - I've been eyeing up those as well. Price tag is alittle more, but you gotta pay-to-play. Options are very similar between the two, and I've got some friends with BC's that really like them.I really like BC's air cup setup as well, I could definitely be interested in that in the future.

ClassE Posted November 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 Got some work done today - front lip is on, lower ducts are in, got some adhesive and junk off the passenger side. Hopefully start buffing tomorrow.Need to order smoked turns and side markers by Monday, possibly replacing the front bumper trim as well.... I like the "clean" look of no front plate (I would run a WI plate anyways - debating on a running a color matched euro plate). If I run a euro plate, the front trim I have is fine (has 2 holes from previous euro plate install). If I don't run any plate - I'm gonna replace them.My trim has square knockouts for a front toe hook to pass through - get replacements squares from the dealer?!?

Brian. Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 He won't, I already asked him Earl. He likes the contrasting chrome. He's getting different wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClassE Posted November 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 Most likely won't - gonna wait until the car is dropped and new wheels are on.... Then will make a decision.I love to hate this part.... But it's gotta get done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian. Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 Hey man. Transfer this over to the Members BMWS thread. Start a build thread on it in the right spot! Looking good man! Wetsand my car! ;P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClassE Posted November 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 Oh yeah.... I guess this isn't really the correct spot for this huh. I'll start a true "build" thread later today. Brian. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
