Alpina B6 3.5 Turbo Tribute

That's why I really didn't want to switch the intakes out. You are young and full of energy. Not like me at 48 years old.

It was a tight bitch getting under the intake. I still need more time to be ready to fire it up.

Lol yes it is. I will never pull an m30 intake manifold again while the motor is in the car. Many bloody knuckles and my arm isnt meant to bend the ways its supposed to haha.

Cool. Nice work!

Oil filter housing where it bolts to the block. I drilled and tapped it.

Where are you pulling your turbo oil feed from?

Looks Kick ass! The mono wiper kit should stay IMO Needs a headlight wiper kit aswell. So how much is left before you can fire her up?


So how much of a bitch was it to get the the intake manifold bolts on cyl 5 and 6 i know for me it was hell

You better just stop detailing that thing, it's just getting to sexy to even start or drive...

Lookin' good Raul! 8^)

You need to put it in the engine bay thread if you haven't

Thanks, Keith.

I'll be waiting! Hopefully when you find it I'll have funds to purchase it. I'll be kicking my self if I don't.

It is about timing to buy or not. For me it is about timing on funds.

I took off the b35 intake off. Then I bolted up the Alpina B6 intake. I also installed 2 more vacuum nipples. I need to trim some metal off throttle body to be able to check oil.

Raul looking amazing.

Thanks, Trevor.

That intake makes me so jealous

I am the hunt for a Alpina B6 intake for you.

Raul: Looks so nice; reminds me of my euro m535 dirty engine car, but much better:)
