How to change inlets(OEM) of N54 engine

diddlkiss · 06-25-2018, 11:04 AM

I have changed MMP's inlets last year,but I want to back OEM inlets now,because I want to sell my car and move it to my new Z4 35is,
If I disassemble the downpipe, intake manifold, move the subframe to drop the engine a bit, can OEM inlets be installed? I need an installation experience. If possible, try not to disassemble the engine and gearbox.

It's been a month since you posted this and I'm curious if you've actually done it.

In response to your question, anything is possible, but it will require quite a bit of effort. In fact, the easiest way might be to pull the engine out, to be honest with you. Why would you want to put the restrictive OEM inlets back on though?
