M3 Euro headers?

[MisterM52]

I was looking for some suggestions, my Car i RHD/NZ so would LHD Headers fit and clear the steering column??

[chriscotech]

Should do. The part numbers are the same for LHD and RHD cars. This goes for both the S50 B30 and S50 B32 engines, but you will probably need to get the right one for your engine model because of the port size and stud spacing. Someone might be able to confirm that.

I am assuming you are putting one of these engines in another car (328i ?)

To the best of my knowledge, there is only one header from BMW for the E36 M3 fitted with the S50B32 engine. Check realoem.com to verify.

What year is your car? Does it have the S50B30 or S50B32 engine. I'd ask about the North American engines, but this is the Euro sub-forum.

I'm guessing that OP is asking whether the M3 headers will fit his 328 listed in his profile. I've seen a couple of guys here in SA fit the S50B30 headers to the 328i, so I think it may be possible for the OP.

Hi Yes, I am asking if the S50B30/32 Headers will fit my 328i/M52B28 RHD..I read somewhere that LDH Headers wont Go in RHD cars but RHD headers will work both ways..

Lysis - Interesting, how much are M3 headers in SA?

[chriscotech]

As I said, LHD and RHD have the same part numbers, for a given engine. They will be the same. The part numbers are different between the B30 and B32 though. You need B30 in either LHD or RHD. As MauiM3Mania said, you can check this at http://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/showparts?id=BF91-EUR-04-1995-E36-BMW-M3&diagId=11_6039 (this is the LHD car, same numbers for the RHD).

I hope this helps.

E36 M3 headers are the same, doesn't matter LHD or RHD.
Yes they fit the M50-52 engines, but if you want to fit it correctly you have to make an adapter plate.

Make sure you use the gasket for the euro headers, since they are a bit thicker and will give you just enough room not to rub up against the block. At least that's how it was with my old m50+euro headers combo.
If you use the euro headers then you could use the whole euro exhaust if you wanted to.
For the mid section you could buy from a forum member here; foler - its a replica of the supersprint. The quality is top notch and the noise it makes is even better, I have it and love it.

Not to thread jack or anything, but i dont want to start a thread just to ask a small question. But where can I get the gasket for the headers? I have the euro SS headers.

Thanks!

11621317631 this is the code, you need 6pcs from this code, buy it from your local BMW dealer, not a too expensive part.
