N52 Canted over angle?

CobraMarty · 01-18-2018, 08:55 AM

I've looked and can't find this info.
Anyone know the amount in degrees that the N52 engine is canted over on an angle?
About 20*?

Yes, 20 degrees. BMW inline 6 engines have been 20 degrees since the original M50 - the N52 is the same. Which also means you can use it with pretty much any BMW transmission...

I think the M20 was 15 degrees, but the 12v heads are smaller (and lighter) and the engine is also a little shorter because of it.

Thanks.

I want to cut up a stock intake manifold that I have. Make it a 'stubby'.
