Working on My E36/5California TopM50b25 g35turbo 5 speed swap
Never had issues with my bmw 4 cylinder manifold coming loose at the head flange, but always used new bmw hardware and oe manifold gaskets.

SHUT UP no one asked you.
W hy not cut the mani into bank 1 and bank 2 won't that relieve the banana action? Doing research for a 96 328i m52. thx!!
You make this manifold? Looks sort of but not really like the old tubular bottom mount PPF manifold for E36. I have one of those. Turbo sits way lower tho. Also notice your drain on the pan is way lower than oil level. Have you had problems with that? I tried getting as high on the pan as possible, that has resulted in a 10-12 degree an10 hose. Not ideal Edit: I didn't watch far enough to see you actually went over the drain lol, my bad. By the way, about the oil level, i did that thing with the water in the sump also. Oil level sat higher than the gasket seal which i guess is why those always leak. Anyway, i then was trying to figure out how much oil was actually in the pan when the engine is running and no one had a clear answer until i found some Russian automotive channel (Garage 54) where they test all sorts of wacky shit. They had an old 4 cylinder Lada with an oil pan and valve conver made of see through plastic and to my suprise the oil level in the pan dropped a few cm when the engine was running. I would say 2 cm. I know its a completely different motor, but oil level should drop a fair bit in the BMW motor also. More than you think definetly!
Yes! They don't all have 24 exhaust studs 👍

That totally depends on the type of power and response you want plus what chassis you are installing the engine in.

No I don't have any qualifications
Certain m54's won't have all 24 exhaust studs or even holes drilled for the rest of them. They will have a little dimple where you can drill and tap a hole for the stud however. Later e46's and the earlier 04/05 e60 525i/530i with the m54 will be like this.
