So how difficult is the M50 conversion?

Does the M3 manifold require any modification?

Its very difficult, hand made supporting bracket and more difficult is space for intake manifold becouse the power brake unit distrub.Oil pan must be from E34.Drive shaft must cut, welding and true. Gear box shifting parts must cut, too and welding. That was in shorth :D

M3 manifold require modification for intake, between head and M3 manifold is plate with hole of head and manifold, becouse stock manifold has 7 holes and from M3 has 9 holes. Exaust m3 dont have modification.

oh WOW, nice work! That sounds like a lot of effort to cram the M50 in there but worth it!
