All this talk....

[Antm72]

Now look what it's done..... All this talk of manifold conversions and I seem to have attracted another itch that has to scratched !!!

Armed with trusty eBay and a PayPal account this arrived today

Have ordered the conversion plate to get me M52 tu to M54 Have another job on the list for month end.
If it gives half what the M50 conversion gives I will be impressed. Seems the correct part but many Part numbers for the manifold appear along with the Disa . The Disa matches with some other members and it's from a 2002 330ci so looks to be correct.... Let the fun begin

There's so many part numbers but it's listed as being off a 330ci The Disa matches yours as I have spoke to Roy.
Wasn't sure on the manifold but that part number is illusive but only comes up as a 330 in Google and never found anything to contradict it.

That's good news mate the handbrake cables can often not come out mate so it's easier to cut and replace them best to have everything to hand
Look forward to the pics mate bring back all the knowledge and then you can do mine

 

[Antm72]
