Just recently I purchased the intake manifold for an 06 330i so I could do the swap in my 10 328i but when I got the manifold it was an 08 n51 manifold. My question is does anyone have any pictures of the correct manifold I'm looking for and does anyone know where I can find a diy or just something that could give me real insight on this project. I looked through the existing threads and all they are is 17 pages of bullshit with absolutely no help. If someone who actually has done this could comment back with some help I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

Well search some more and you will have your answers. Been beaten to death many times.

op, yes there are like 100 pages and no one here did any DIY...such bullcrap!!!!
all this talk on 50+ hp gain and no DIY...SAD
but search the z4 forum and there should be a short DIY there

i learn that the 3 stage manifold has 2 actuators and the regular one has 1

Thanks I'm glad someone feels the same way. You were right the z4 forum actually was alot more informative.

Not mine... The single stage manifold has 0 actuators. The 2.5L (non us-spec) has a 2 stage (1 actuator).

I have the same car like yours and it came with the 3 stage manifold. I just found out.
