BMW Z3 Six-Cylinder Tubular Exhaust Manifold, including Z3 M, 96-03
Important fitment information
Important: Fits all six-cylinder Z3 models, including later engines and Z3 M, in coupe and convertible body styles. Does not fit four-cylinder Z3 models. Requires cutting/joining to the original exhaust; check steering-side clearance and engine-mount condition.
This tubular exhaust manifold is for early BMW Z3 2.8 models using the single-VANOS M52B28 engine.
Built from stainless steel with TIG-welded tubular runners and dual 3-into-1 collectors. The outlet arrangement uses 2-inch and 1.75-inch pipework and is designed to improve exhaust flow compared with the restrictive original manifolds.

BMW E36: one chassis, many configurations
The E36 range includes four- and six-cylinder engines, several body styles and a wide variety of factory exhaust layouts. Selected Z3 products also use this chassis key, so the model and engine details shown above should always take priority over the profile heading.
Manifold clearance, steering position, catalyst arrangement and the connection to the centre section can all vary. Rear systems also differ by body style and bumper layout, so check every product-specific fitment note before installation.
