M50 on S50 w/ Euro setup?

[Perrodulce]

Can someone tell me whether or not the M50 would work on an S50 with the 24# injectors, Euro HFM and Conforti chip? Would there have to be reprogramming of the chip involved? What gains have you seen with the M50? Thanks!

i take it we are talking intake manifolds. M50 intake manifold = S50 intake manifold, they are the exact same.

You need an 3.5" HFM specific chip.

I was reading in many posts that people installed the M50 cam. Is that correct? Does that improve performance?

m50 cams are less aggressive than s50 cams. Many people put s50 cams in their m50 motors.

Sorry, I am confused. Check out this post

People are talking about what to do with 2K as an upgrade on their M3 and there is talk of M50 manifold swap. Why if they are the same? Thanks, sorry for the confusion.

3.2(96+) cars have the smaller intake manifold which makes better low and mid range. The m52 shares this same manifold. Its common to swap the m50/s50 intake manifold onto s52/m52 motor'd cars to get more high rpm power.

Thank you, I am glad to finally have someone help me understand that. I am learning something new everyday here!
