*Glenn* 854 Report post Posted August 19, 2009 It may be that on the M52B28 motors, the front pipes are slightly different in diameter. ETK doesnt give sizes...so I'm not sure what the difference might be Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jamez 2147483647 Report post Posted August 19, 2009 (edited) For the Z3 bmw put a flat dent in the number 6 header so that it would clear the chassis rail. Does that answer your question? edit- im not 100% sure if its the #6 but on one of the curls there is a flat dent.

hybrid 1043 Report post Posted August 19, 2009 they are s50b32 headers... which is what the z3m / m-coupe runs. z3m/m-coupe are nothing more than e30 chassis pans with e36 m3 evo donks in them. This is unless of corse its from the rare 01-02 model in that case its an s54 header (highly doubt it) The headers are the same as my ones I showed you Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jamez 2147483647 Report post Posted August 19, 2009 (edited) yea, the same as the M3 This is the dent im talking about. the reason for a bolt being there is the guy who took the pic was about to pull the dent out.

westy 614 Report post Posted August 19, 2009 As far as I know, they will fit any M5X engine and S50 but not the S54 as it has a 3 bolt fixing/port. As for the chassis??? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, these have dent there, but very small, maybe 3mm x fingernail. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
