m44 disa valve in m42 manifold

Does it physically fit?

I have a broken m42 DISA at the moment ... rather than buying crap for the over complicated vacuum setup trying to fix it, I'd love to just swap to an all electric m44...

Love those wheels; if I was closer I'd snag them.

While we're on the subject, I'd strongly suggest that everyone with a m44 open up their intake box and look at that foam. If it has started crumbling, go ahead and dump it all out, you're just...

I can attest to this. When I first bought my 318i, I ran it on regular and then when I switched to premium, I got about 2mpg better consistently. Now with the Turner chip, I have seen about a 1mpg...

Pretty much confirms what I've experienced too.

I took the stocker off and put the Ansa on myself ... cant' say I noticed the difference aside from sound.

Oh I agree, but on a car as powerless as our cars are ... unless you've got a high boost turbo setup, it really is kinda unnecessary.

In our 4 banger powered world, things happen so slow, you...

I had a K&N drop in filter in my 535 and I'll be damned if I could notice any sort of difference in either sound, performance or anything else. I guess the added benefit is being able to clean it and...
