car-part.com is what I used, took about 2-3 months of checking it once every few weeks. Found a manifold from 2009 X3. Always asked for photos. Expand your search to include x3 x5 z4 3.0is as well as 330i and 530i. I didnt trust all the n51 posts, but u never know if the photos show the Boxes boxes attached.

No problem. The most annoying DIY bit was the stuff connected to the bottom of the original manifold & dis-connecting hoses.

Yes, look at AA dynos they move that drop to 7k. Also alot of the disa drops in the AA tune are moved fwd by 500 rpm & smoothed out
