Whats up guys, So I have done lots of digging and I have tried to look for used manifolds and came up with nothing. So after contacting a couple shops to see if they could put one together for me they tell me it would run about $2,500 for everything!
They claim its because of the warranty and some shit. Anywaysss.. I have decided to build my own ( and I say this nervously.. ). I understand for a 328 vs. a 325 some parts are different with hoses and what not so I would like some input from some guys that have experience with this.
And for those of you thinking 'what a fucking idiot just go search it' ... I have and I just want to double check everything is right just so I have no troubles when going to get it installed, just as anyone would be. So after looking through this thread (see link below) I searched the parts serial numbers and was utterly suprised at all the choices of parts there were?
For example, when I looked up the intake manifold part 10 different ones came up (and this is the same for almost every part number) and were all the same price but some were labeled '2012 - BMW - 128I - N51B30A - L6 - 3.0L - GAS' vs. '2012 - BMW - 328I - N52 - L6 - 3.0L - GAS' and a couple other options... Sooo obviously I was expecting it to pop up with a single part and then I would order it but I guess life can't always be easy!
So if anyone has any answers for me
PLEASE feel free to chime in

Please take the time to help me out here, as I have put a lot of effort into this thread for not only helping myself out, but for help other people who are interested in this for the future.
Andddd for the people who are Gear Heads and are curious to know what I plan to do, I am going for the ultimate 328
I currently have the PE and plan to get the manifold + PI + AA
Thanks again for taking the time to read this long write up and double thanks to those who actually help me out!
EDIT: came to the conclusion that I have a N51, so this thread is just here now for those who like some more information on how to do the swap
