Hello everyone, I would want to enquire about N47 intake manifolds.
My son has purchased a 2008 E92 320d with 80,000 miles, one previous owner, and a full-service history from a BMW major dealer in Ireland. There is a typical leak in the intake manifold near the actuator shaft. I have seen favourable opinions on the Darkside development alternatives for a successor.

However, we already incur additional VAT and import duties on things from the UK, therefore I was expecting to get an original manufacturer product locally.
Is there anybody who can identify the manufacturer of the original intake manifolds for BMW?
Thank you very much

Do you know someone here who can deliver it labelled as a gift?

I installed a Darkside one on my 640, and it performed quite well. Most motor factors are now capable of sourcing them.
Thank you.

Certainly I have seen "Mahle" inscribed on the BMW original equipment manifolds.

Outstanding Thank you so much, Ruth Himmic.
I will consider acquiring a Mahle manifold.
After submitting the query, I conversed with an individual at a nearby auto parts store who said that, in his experience, many recent MEAT & DORIA goods are essentially OE Originals with the brand and vehicle manufacturer label removed. Does anybody have experience with their intake manifolds?

Thank you.
