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

Intake manifold gaskets replacement bmw vs ebay
Re: Intake manifold gaskets replacement bmw vs ebay
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....
Re: Intake manifold gaskets replacement bmw vs ebay
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...
