M30 Headers
APRIL 8TH 2019 UPDATE
I've been away from the forum for sometime. Let's do it again shall we?
Good News. I have plenty of inventory to get these out as fast as the orders come in.
Bad News. Last time this Group buy was updated. I was working on a new designed set of Headers for the M30 variant. They were produced. But with the small demand vs. the price point.
Schmiedmann discontinued the product. However I was informed that the info we put together transcended over to the S-Tech headers. Last of the unfortuate news, like most things nowadays, the price has gone up.
Schmiedmann offers them at roughly 330-340 shipped CONUS
I can do 300 shipped CONUS
I've have been offering this on Facebook but I had to bring this back home to the family.
All are BNIB 6-2
Excellent construction welds are solid.
Not Chinese or ebay headers.
Comes with gasket and a warranty.
Do I have a business? Yes.
Are they on my site? Yes.
Am I plugging these for my site? No
This is strictly a myE28.com thing.
I just want to give back for all the years of help and information I received for my m30 born E34 before it being totaled.
If your interested and willing to pull the trigger pm me for paypal info
I am also along time Schmiedmann vendor. If your interested in any else Schmiedmann has pm me.
All e28 items will be by inquiry only again to keep the cost down for you guys.
Thanks for all they years of assistance, fun, and everything m30.

Re: M30 Headers
They look like an interesting deal. Have you installed any yet?
Schmiedmann could not have picked a nicer car to install them on for the photo

That aside, it looks like a great deal. I think it would help immensely to have some before and after dyno results with these installed. If you can prove a power gain, as well as umm, a better looking engine bay, for $250, these things will sell themselves. I've been a believer that long tube headers suit the M30 better but these would definitely be worth the price of admission if you can substantiate some performance gains. Do you know where they're made?
Re: M30 Headers
Good deal for sure if just for the eye any effect but not for me unless they make some performance improvement.

Yes I had a set on my e34 m30 before it was totaled out.
As far as a difference in performance compared to the stock anchors. From a butt dyno stand point, there definitely was a improvement.
I also had some other smaller mods going on with the car so for me it brought everything else together.
(B10 style reverse intake manifold, 24lb injectors, Dinan chip, rebuilt head, magnaflow cat, reso delete)
To answer your question about origin of manufacturer. IIRC Nordborg or Odense has a shop where they are manufactured.
I didn't trust the integrity of Chinese knockoffs. For I heard they had weld issues.
So before I bought my set last year it was one of the first questions I asked. They lasted up until my car was struck. Now they are the proud
property of some Craiglister.

What are the odds this fits an m30 swapped e30?

Re: M30 Headers
I believe it's more dependent on which engine mounts you're using. The Garagistic ones claim that you can aftermarket headers on them, as do the ones made by FEAR on r3v.Click wrote:What are the odds this fits an m30 swapped e30?

Re: M30 Headers
I bought a set of these to install in my m30/e30 but found that the Bavuto headers fit a lot more easily with just pounding the firewall and grinding down a casting protrusion on the block. The Schmeidmann headers hit my Good n Tight motor mount and had the wrong angle at the collector exit. They looked like decent quality however. I sold them and wondered how they performed.

Re: M30 Headers
Really....you have to pound the firewall and grind to get Bavauto headers to fit? Shit....I might as well buy the Supersprint header then since Tubular wants $800 for a header.foolish wrote:I bought a set of these to install in my m30/e30 but found that the Bavuto headers fit a lot more easily with just pounding the firewall and grinding down a casting protrusion on the block.

Re: M30 Headers
Do these fit the E28? The picture is an E34 and I've heard about some fitment issues (but not sure which way E28 -> E34 or E34 -> E28).

They fit all m30 born chassis.

Re: M30 Headers
I ran these on my E28 535i that I sold recently. Installation was painless and they look and sound great. Would recommend, especially for the price point.
From what I understand, these are basically a copy of old Hartge headers, but don't quote me on that.

Re: M30 Headers
Did you hooked them up to the stock catalytic converter or used an aftermarket? (or none)

Re: M30 Headers
Good question; I should've gone into more detail.
When fitting the headers I had a brand new custom fabricated exhaust fitted at the same time. So yes, they do fit without issue in the engine bay, but as to the rest of a factory exhaust system, I cannot speak to that, unfortunately.
Truth be told I can't see why you'd go to headers without also upgrading at least the cat anyway. High flow universal cats are cheaper and will allow your shiny new headers to sing like they should.

Re: M30 Headers
Any idea of the outlet size of the adaptor piece? It would be nice to know to look at high flow catalytic converters to piece together!MonsterCntye34 wrote:Murrah How's this for a little M30 love!!!
Just checking to see if interested. Being most with M30s (including myself before my car was totaled) go the way of FI.
I figured I'd see if there were any interests in these which are for NA m30 cars.
I happen to have access to m30 ss headers. I have access to 12 sets (actually 54 sets) from across the pond.

I already have one sold and another on the bay in auction. My supplier's retail MAP is 307.95.
I'm selling them for $250 each shipped. Here I will do 230+paypal fee shipped.
Do I have a business. Yes. Are they on my site. Yes. Am I plugging these for the site. No.

Re: M30 Headers
Email sent, I dont think it worked for me so I also pm'd
Re: M30 Headers
I'm not positive but I think the collector was 2" or maybe I'm confusing it with the Bavauto headers?
Re: M30 Headers
I'd be interested if I knew the size of the primary pipes and the outlet.
Re: M30 Headers
VERY interested. What would turnaround time be if we ordered them now?
Thanks,
Peter
