intake manifolds

[JGM3E3632]

Considering a different intake manifold. I have heard of people putting the M50/S50 manifold on E36 cars. Just wondering whether or not spending the extra 500.00 on the Schrick model would be better. Here is the website with the M50/S50 manifold: http://www.m3motorwerks.com/products/description.php/II=221/PA=0

Here is the website for the Schrick manifold.

Well, I order the m50 manifold kit from M3 motorwerks. Zach and Mikia were very helpful. (I hope that is how he spells it). It is supposed to be here within a week. I can not wait, i have talked to a few E36 M3 3.2 owners who have done the conversion and they love it. I think the combination of free flowing exhaust, chip, CAI, and larger intake manifold will prove to be great.
Here is a picture comparing the M52 manifold to the M50 manifold.

Well, my friend and I installed the manifold this weekend. This is a great mod, I am sending my ecu off to get it reprogrammed. I am sending it to AAtuning in Fl. I do like the shark injector, that I alreay have bought. The car really runs great with it, but it needs custom software. The torque lost is minor, you don't really notice it much. The Hp gain is great, it revs much quicker past 4000 rpm's. She can breathe now!!!
