so with this set up there are going to be no wires hanging out. clean look. how does it compare to the eurosport kit?

how clean is the set up?

Look at the installed pictures on our web site-http://www.eatonm3.com/Manifold.htm

Look at the installed pictures on our web site-http://www.eatonm3.com/Manifold.htm

of course the picture on your website will look clean, i am asking you is the install clean such as the eurosport kit. or is there still going to be a sensor sitting in the engine?

Does the kit come with a fuel rail cover?

yes , the kit includes the fuel rail cover.
Does the kit come with a fuel rail cover?

how clean is the set up?
The install is very clean , all sensors and the idle control valve bolt on the manifold with our conversion kit and you keep your stock oil air separator (unless your going forced induction), keep your stock fuel rail, keep your stock air temp sensor, the kit outfits the manifold to accept all your stock parts directly. There are at least 15 people from this forum who have installed this kit on their car. The kit comes with a phone number for 24hr tech support so that whatever hour of the day you choose to install it you can ask questions if you ever get stumpt, but with our new install manual you should have no problem installing the kit especially if your in the least bit mechanically inclined.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>

3 people in the group buy now, 7 to go!

anyone able to comment on the product and their opinion, aside from the vendor obviously. Sorry if i come across overly judgemental, just want to hear from those on the boards that you say have the kit.

Check the other threads out.

That secound thread on the M50 manifold is a different kit then what were selling, go to the web site. http://www.eatonm3.com/Manifold.htm.

I have the kit, it's nice, comes with everything needed :D

$399 shipped, right? I may be in...

rooz, is the difference noticable in the 328? did you install yourself?

Mine is a ALL kit, cams, manifold and custom software... but the manifold part of is clean it looks like brand new

SIDE NOTE: BY the way guys, Jo is one of the two hardware/performance salesman that I know off that you can call anytime with issues and he tries his best to get ya answers!

$399 shipped, right? I may be in...
$399 shipped with manifold , conversion kit, and fuel rail cover.

i also bought this kit and installed it on my 99 M... i definetly noticed the difference in power... before the car would just pull hard at like 4000 and then start to die off in the upper rpm range but now it just keeps climing quicker and quicker... im also not the most experienced when it comes to working on my car but i just called up a buddy of mine and we were able to finish off the job in a few hours with a couple snack breaks in between.. their was one point during the install that my buddy and i were confused because the picture in the instruction manual wasnt very clear but i just called up joe at Midnight Autoworks and he knew exactly what to say to help me get through it... other than that the instruction manual was pretty good since it was 26 pages long... so in the end i was pleased with the product especially for the money... it def. gets the job done and you still get a couple hundred bucks left over in your pocket compared to the other kits being offered out their... just ask for joe if you ever run into any trouble cuz hes the man... ill post up some pics later on sometime next week maybe if i can find some time...

Count me in

How many people so far.
I'm in
Only need the upgrade kit though for $219

We have 5 people in for sure,,328IZ, If you email me then we have 6 people.
Almost there, BTW I am shipping out the kits this week.

Joe, corss your fingers for me man, my beast might roar again today or tomorrow :D

i'm in, just called you, for just the intstall kit

8 people in so far 2 to go, thanks everyone for your support!

count me in!!!!!! i've needed a cheap kit for a while now

Any chance on JUST the manifold, not the kit or both? If so how much? And if not, I understand. Thanks!

How does this compare price wise to the eurosport kit? Would you say it's the same or better quality? I'm very close to joining this buy.

I too am very close to purchasing it. No disrespect but I have not heard of this vendor so I am somewhat hesitant.

Can anyone attest to the build quality of this kit? I hate chasing vacuum leaks.

I just recieved another 5 manifolds,the first 10 sold, it seems like theres enough people here for 5 more so Im extending the group buy.

well too give this company some rep my motor is currently sitting with the owner Joe awaiting the rebuild for my 600 RWHP setup i have planned... i too was hesitent but after talking with joe after countless hours almost everyday i can assure you he is one of the best out there... im going to be using this same manifold kit on my 600 WHP setup so this should assure most of you who are contemplating buying it that it will hold up just fine...

Only 2 kits left, Thank you everyone for your support and business.



btw EstrolM: Your rods just came in today!

Joe, 98-99 E36 m3, they have the M52 manifolds, right?

when are you shipping these

Interested, going to see if I can swing it. Never really read any clear answers if this is a worthwhile mod when only having mild mods like I do. Sharked, Intake, FDK, Crank Pulley, Magnaflows.....

I guess after this the next performance mod is a supercharger or turbo... ugh $$$$$$$$$$$$$

anyone have this installed, is it worth it, is there a gain??

If you have another group buy at 399 shipped, or can let one go at that price I'll buy one, please contact me at friesian1@alltel.net

i still haven't gotten mine yet.... and it's been more than 5 buisness days, my spring break is next week and im wondering will i have this for spring break so i can install my manifold?? just curious, thanks!

havent got mines either have the 1st group of people got there???

i was in the first group of people..

but nevermind!! i just received mine!!! thanks!!

Ok, there are now another 19 bimmer forums members with our kit for a fact, someone please post a finished install picture!

If you have more kits for another group buy at the same price, please let me know.
Thanks

got my kit today everything looks good but why the HELL is the intake manifold painted gloss black? not sure what bmw you got but my m coupe engine is near a flat black. car is still in the body shop gave the manifold to them too, gonna have it sprayed satin/flat black.

I want to know how installation went with you guys that have this kit! Post up soon!

Got the "kit"--are there any instructions to go with, or is installation that simple that none are needed?

he should be able to e-mail you one, kit works good, just make sure everything is tight, and do it twice, otherwise vaccum leaks up the ass

I'd be in if there's another group buy at $399...

thanks for the advice, i'd like to see some instructions for this kit too...

I didnt get any instructions with the kit either so I emailed Midnight Autoworks about it and they emailed em to me.

I would be interested in the kit if there is another GB. Anyone post pics of their install? Also besides the gains higher up the RPM band, is there a loss of MPG?? Thanks

Has anyone ever done this on a 323? I've heard there is a loss of torque at lower rpms. Is that true?

Were going to have another group buy as soon as we get our shipment in of PRE CONVERTED ALUMINUM M50 INTAKE MANIFOLDS.
Yes , Midnight Autoworks has plug and play aluminum M50 intake manifolds for E36 OBD2 motors.
We will release pictures and pricing in April.
Email us if you have more questions about our manifold.

I just got mine from the GB, and it's still in the box. I am also not a huge fan of the glossy black paint job, but I can live with it. Can I swap it out for the above-mentioned new kit when it becomes available? Thanks.

will the price be the same for just the m50 manifold kit? not including the manifold it self. any idea on when the group buy will be? thank you

When does this start up again?

I want to know about these "aluminum plug n play M50 manifolds". I might be interested if I can get some real customer service this time.

My last order from Midnight was a total flop. I'm sure Midnight remembers me... I ordered the OEM clear corners package... 1 month later you said "for the delay, I will send you them for FREE"... well 3 months later... I didn't get shit in the mail, had to order from a different supplier. What kind of customer service is that, to lie to your customers?

I got my car out the shop yesterday today i decide to install the obd1 kit im not a beginner at this ive done 3 twin cam swaps in e30's made my own turbo setup for my 2 e30 325 2002tii BUT dam this sucked everythings gotta be cut (hoses,fuel rail) and test fitted again and again and all of this is going to go in the trash in about 2 months when my turbo gos on i know that this kit will NOT work with boosted application. Over all the powers there i can really feel it so 2 thumbs up to midnight on that but the install sucked.

For anyone that is going to install one of these kit. Do NOT read the instruction it will just complicate things.Its much easier just to look at the pics and go from there. Maybe its easier on a e36. Id rather change a death tube on a m20 before doing this again lol.

What's the status on the aluminum manifold?

What's the status on the aluminum manifold?
I PM'd them but haven't gotten a response yet.

Curious to hear what others response has been. I sent Joe payment on March 6th. I have had excuses that twice it was shipped but to the "wrong" address. I have asked for a refund but have been getting the run-around for the last two weeks. What's up?

^^^ Perhaps this might explain things... :dunno

From the FI forum (http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=520362)

I contacted my credit card company to make a claim for a refund and posted on the other forums the following:

Unfortunately before I saw all these threads I ordered the M50 Manifold kit from Joe at MA. After repeated lies, misrepresentations and delays in issuing a requested refund I have instituted a claim with my credit card company. I find his actions deplorable.
