Schmiedmann M30 LHD manifold

Post by TopCat »

Dear Experts
I am considering the fitting of a stainless sports exhaust manifold to Herman's M30 (in Camaro speak we would call these headers-and I know whose are best for Camaros)
Thing is these Schmiedmann people list one in their adverts for £225- but apart from finding their name highly "Mutiny on the Bounty" and difficult to spell they seem impervious to contacts/questions!
http://www.schmiedmann.co.uk/3_series/E ... -parts.htm

So my question is
1 Has anyone tried one of their manifolds- do they work?
2 Do they fit an E21?
3 Are they stainless?
and lastly how does one contact someone knowledgeable there?

over to you

ps no hurry

If you see them expand throughout Europe they're doing something right, and they used to be the main sponsor for this place as well. Pity they can't help you out and it looks like no one tried them sofar. Did you contact their UK office? Perhaps you should try their Danish HQ. IMO for that kinda money its worth the try, if it fits.

Well I took your advice and rang Denmark- spoke to a knowledgeable English guy(!)

It is stainless and fits a LHD E28 535- and they have 51 left
so have ordered one

Will let you know how we get on fitting etc
Have also ordered a pair of E28 535 engine mounts- Herman has E34 engine mounts which are fine for the track but is 1/2 inch lower than the E28- hence probs with driveway etc
We will fit all together
