This is a hot topic i cant seem to find a reliable source to read so was hoping i could create a new one.
I just pulled a whole intake manifold with disa, ccv and icv m54b30 from 2001 x5 3.0

I have a 2000 z3 2.8 m52tub28.
I know the gist swapping the manifold but i want to know if i could reuse fuel injectors, icv, fuel rails on my m52.

Things i read to swap.
Disa (bigger on m54)
Intake assembly
Adapter plate for my throttle body on m52tu

Should i get the fuel injectors on the x5 or reuse mine?
Also im deleting the ccv and fittibg oil catch can

This is my first and id be happy to do all the work and learn.
Thank you in advance!

The x5 3.0 petrol manifold is a straight swap for the twin vanos 2.8 z3. Yes you can use your existing injectors and fuel rail one fixing hole may not quite line up from memory. There was a couple of small pipes on the end of the manifold I also put silicone blanks on, I think 2 5mm and 1 8mm. Use the x5 disa valve. Yes you need the converter plate for the throttle body to bolt on.
