Talking Found my DISA manifold, is it right?

Here are the pics, it's from a 523i E60. So excited! So I ordered the gaskets and hardware today. I just want to confirm that I have the right manifold again. The part numbers are different from what the stig had posted. Here they are, tag reads like this

N52B30 OL KPLM164
754802707
51750610
08051320278

Part came from an E60 523i. Please confirm evolve can tune this manifold. I concerned because it didn't com from a X30i car.....

Talk to (Bob) @Smellthebeans I think your 128i already has the DISA intake. I think you would only need to have some coding done and a DME tune to make it work. Flo can make it happen for you.

Not sure how US car purchases work overseas, but in the US the only part of the warranty that would be voided would be the manifold itself. If the radio was to break, they would still be on the hook to repair it. I've had all sorts of little trim things warrantied and the dealer is well aware of my mods.

Only if he has a N51.

EUR 89,99 "sofort kaufen" = buy it right now for 89.99 euros

or... you can make an offer and see IF the sell will take it.

Btw... the ad doesn't say that they will ship internationally. Most ebay.de ads only ship within Germany. But maybe someone here might help you out? OP ?

I have the n52 non disa manifold. Stig if that's all that I have to worry about then I'm gonna pick it up. It's such a good opportunity to upgrade.

In the US that would be the case thanks to the Moss Magnuson act, but I'm not sure how that applies to servicemen overseas buying US cars.

Well since the bmw maintenance program doesn't apply while I'm here I would imagine the warranty doesn't either. Besides, I was pretty much told I could spend any more money on the car until we go back to,the states. The boss is pretty pissed off about me "modifying" my brand new car. So anyways I hope these go to a good home. Maybe once I'm back in the USA I can get with the mods. I'm still putting the exhaust on the car though since I already spent the money.

The "Boss" didn't look that unhappy when you picked up my old 135i exhaust the other day! Maybe she was just hiding her feelings.

I really would not worry too much about mods over here. Most dealers are quite cool with it. AND even IF they do void your warranty... once you go back to the states and register your VIN(and warranty) with BMW NA, you are starting out fresh again.

Basically we have a two year unlimited mile warranty while over here in Germany with a US Spec car. Our car's VIN is enrolled into BMW DE and we can also use the BMW Assist program IF we need to - free of charge. We do not get free services/maintenance while over here. But when the car enters the USA we have what is remaining of the BMW NA factory warranty and free service plan. 4 years or 50K miles - free services and wear and tear items(except for tires).

Time to upgrade bosses.

We are talking 30hp for the price of a pair of shoes.

I'd say buy both, sell one to a fellow n52 fan to pay for the other's storage costs or even labour if you choose to install. Arbitrage

Oh and after some careful explanation to the boss she agreed.

Buy it now, if you can...that's a great deal for $121 US...you can rebuild the DISA valves and use your own plastic cover...Big question is: will he ship to USA? If not, tell him to pack it up, give you his address, and issue a call tag to DHL to pick it up...that way all he has to do is answer the door when DHL shows up...

It's your deal Sinister, I'd definitely jump on that but I don't sprechen Deutsch.

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.
