Re: my first BMW manifold

yeah, i've never done individual flanges before, it wasn't too bad going together, it gave me a tiny bit more flexibility when welding the runners since i like to weld one completely before i move onto the next one.

i don't imagine it will be coming off too often once it is on the engine it is going on. i should have some pics of it installed for a mock up for the external wg soon.

here is the fixture for the second one:

Re: my first BMW manifold

Looks like its for an e46 M3 with the individual flanges. What kind of price would you charge for a normal e46 325 manifold with t3 flange? Possibly even a log for cheapness factor? My buddies got a 2003 325ci e46 and he is really wanting to turbo, and was wanting me to weld him a log, but Im not even close to being confident enough to trust my mig welding skills to hold up on something like that lol. VERY nice work, some of those bmw ******* pay upwards of a *couple of grand* for some of the turbo mani's for their cars. Thats ballin though, try making a market on bmwpsi.com, im sure youd be able to sell'em like hot cakes for a decent price.
