While I'm at it, the new manifold seals are quite impressive!
Bmw have considerably changed the part - they're now a lot thicker and have steel plates in them! (Bloody expensive too at $80 for the lot!)
Some random pix for you guys:




BTW : why does everyone whine about how hard the manifold is to get out of the car? Using ferretrage (tm) it only took me about an hour to strip down?
