Couldnt find much info on this but wondering if anyone is running these intakes?

Not sure why they wouldnt work and if I find one I may try it out...perhaps the aluminum heat sink on the runners makes a decent difference? Definitely not the prettiest intake but neither is the n52 valve cover!

Id be swapping it on my 09 E91 328

Part number is 11617584525

The aluminum heat sink is there for the DME, which is mounted to the intake manifold in F chassis cars (stupid design imo). I'd double check to make sure that it'll seal properly without a DME there.

Can't imagine it'll really help you with intake temps though if that was what you were implying.

Agreed. I’m sure you could use this manifold, but I wouldn’t go out of your way to find one.

Ahh thanks. I did find later that that is where the DME is mounted. I found one for $75 and having the newer disa's was appealing but I may wait for a local junkyard to get a regular 3 stage. The intake runners are the only clean looking design of the engine!

At $75, I would grab that right away, specifically for the disas. If you want the regular 3 stage manifold and find one after, you can swap out the disa valves to these newer ones.
