Swirl flaps

Post by Bubbaspaarx » Thu Jun 18, 2015 8:38 pm

Hi there. Am going to inspect my inlet manifold this weekend to see if it has swirl flaps but in the likely event it does (I have the M57N2 engine) where should I get a full kit from. Am going to get gaskets and all. On my way! PMW quoted £75ish  for this... Expensive or not? Any difference in quality from flebay?

I fitted these to my X3 last year

No problems with them on mine.

You can order both sizes and return the size not required for refund.

Sweet. They are local to me so I'll pick some up today. Did you change the gaskets at the same time?

No, once removed they looked fine on mine.

Cool. Went to X8R today and picked them up. Nice people gave me both sets and will return ones I don't use. Will let you know how I get on.
