Forrest 35 Report post Posted October 30, 2008 Just took a quick look around in my engine bay (316i m40) and realised the heatshield that goes between the exhaust manifold (i think) and the ignition leads/rocker cover is rusty and falling apart. I was wondering would a m40 318i shield fit on my car? PS am looking to buy one if someone has a good condition one, didnt know wether to put in wanted to buy or maintenence. Cheers, Nathan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike 1 Report post Posted October 30, 2008 cool thanks glenn, off to go scope one out at pick a part an M10 gasket is $35, surely an M40 would be much the same? why muck around pulling off old gaskets that are just likely to leak? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
