It's plastic.....???? Ah shiiiit. I could have sworn it was metal. Oh well. I'm serious. I gotta know what I need to buy tho. I'm not paying 400 bucks for a manifold, some elbows, and hose clamps.

yes, that's the right manifold...

$195 for the kit you need, and add $40 for the modified M50 fuel rail cover

http://m50manifold.com//index.php?op...d=26&Itemid=40

this is the kit you would need. Honestly, it's worth every penny

PM me your contact info, and we can go from there.... I'll be at Putnam track next weekend... Let me know

It's $105 for the fuel rail cover now....

Should have gotten one a while ago, now I'm just going to have to live with the S52 cover.

OahuMPower · Fri, Aug-14-2009, 04:37:30 PM

straight from the website Bobby
"$195.00 + Shipping

Add a REFURBISHED and modified M50 fuel rail cover to this kit for $40 additional. "

is the $105 one a brand new one?.... you can get it for $40.. and the refurbed would look better in the engine bay anyways since a brand new one would look out of place

$105 is for the brand new one...

$105.00 additional to any kit price
New BMW OEM Part. But modified to fit the M/S52 fuel rails properly. See the FAQs for why you need this cover.

**PurduinaM3** · Fri, Aug-14-2009, 04:39:14 PM

That part of his site hasn't been updated yet. He only sells new ones, and they're all $105 now.

***I used to sell these covers for $40 additional but there has been a huge spike in the cost of these parts. BMW had to retool and start making the covers again and my cost price went up over 400 percent!!

There is no refurb ones...

OahuMPower · Fri, Aug-14-2009, 05:16:41 PM
