Title: Will an E30 M42 intake manifold fit an e36

Will an E30 M42 intake manifold fit an e36?

Is it true that the E30 one flows better at high revs?

Hi

Fit yes but ecu would have a different program.

E30 manifold does flow better at high revs because it has 4 individual runners from the throttle body.

But the trade is touque down low, which is what the disa manifold was designed for. :'(

Cheers

Thanks for your reply.

My concern is that it will not fit under the hood.
