Hi all,

I am going to be replacing my glow plugs so the 12 gaskets on the intake manifold will need replacing.
About £25 on ebay while its £100 from the dealers.

Anyone used the ebay ones and are they of same quality?

Thanks

Ive used them many times and all has been fine, no difference I can see between BMW and eBay, but you need the whole set and not just the 12 port gaskets....

HI marti, I can only see adverts for 12 or 13 gaskets. Any idea or pictures of others than need replacing?

Thanks


I don't know if I have blanked swirl flaps so wondering if i should do them as well. It is a 2005 facelift version

This is the set you require: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Intake-Manif ... SwFZZcHiv9

As for swirl flaps I dont think you have them, however you can always buy this set in case, which is what I did: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/REPAIR-KIT-S ... SwlNtdQU2f

When removing the manifold put plenty of sheets around the engine bay to stop you losing various nuts etc...or youll be dropping the undersheild to find various dropped bits...

Thanks very much
