Hello, I can aquire throttle bodies for dirt cheap to use on my M42 project, they can be bored up to 50mm's.
Could somebody please measure me the lower part of the E30 intake? I need the diameter of the intakes and the spacing between them. I have an E36 engine, so i want to know if i could use the e30 intake part for the conversion or have a new one made up. Thanks!

I should be able to get the approx size of the lower/upper manifold from the gasket tonight. I'll post a technical drawing when i'm done. oh and it's from an E30 m42

Here is a layout based on the gasket between the upper and lower intake manifold. it's just hole positioning and holes are most likely a little oversized and have a large tolerance. If any other dimension is needed, feel free to send me a pm and I'll fill in the blank.

if someone can tell me how to get the pdf file to appear in the post, please do!
