E60 N52 OEM exhaust manifolds on E92 N52 car

Jros · 02-02-2025, 11:47 AM

just a quick question- does the combo in the title fit? or does the E60 N52 headers need some adapting?

bought at a good price a pair of OEM "shorty header style" E60 catted manifolds and would like to use those in my E92

thanks

Will do that
I am sure that head side they will bolt up, and they should clear the AC compressor fine (same engine). I hope they will clear the chassis too...

The main thing that i suspect is the flanges exhaust side, like angle and tube length.

oh well, another fun project i guess

E60 ones won't fit. They bolt onto the head the same but they attach to the midpipe at a different length/angle VS the E9X chassis

did you end up getting the ones with the long or short cats? Ive been on the hunt for some for my E61
