Hi folks, this may sound like a question with an obvios answer to some but I thought I'd ask as I dont know any better.
I've got an E34 525Ix and I want to get more power n/a, but out of pure interest does the e36 M3 exhaust manifold fit the head of the M50, it looks like a very similar if not identical bolt pattern - throttle bodies going on the inlet side possibly!

Do you mean you're going to run the euro ITB manifold?

TMK - The exhaust manifolds are interchangeable.

Havent quite decided TB wise yet, but I want to free up the inlet and exhaust, car feels so underpowered for a 2.5 24V. Thanks for the help!
