    I am after BMW 1.9 petrol engine, for '99 E46 , and when i was inquiring about them is some places, i was asked about what kind intake manifold is, i am after that engine with plastic intake manifold, they said that they dont have , as usually those engines comes with metal intake manifold, and they ar not compatible ...

    ok, i am not really familiar with BMW engines, maybe somebody could highlight on these engines ?

    really couldn't find differences even through google.

    Thanks

    Yea the older M43 engine (usually from the E36) had a die-cast intake manifold. But any M43's i've seen in E46's have always been plastic in takes.
