Still here. The ones I looked at I was not sure if they were compatible because they did not come from a a -30i N52B30 High output engine. 89 Euro is a great price. That's 1\2 of what I paid for mine.

The increase in useable torque and HP in 2nd and 3rd gear will pull you back into the seat. No real need for a Dyno, it's a difference you can feel. I am willing to bet a 128i with the 3stage intake and tune will rip to 60 in WELL under 6 seconds. You can also just put the manifold on and execute the tune later. It will take about 2 tanks of gas for the CPU to fully adjust. It really wakes the car up.

All military sales are N52Ks which means they are not built with a 3 stage intake and have the higher compression ratio compared to the N51. They are CARB compliant but, not SULEVs.
