If this seems like hogwash to any lurking BMW guy then please point me in the direction of someone who has IT LEGAL parts/knowledge for the m44 motor.....We can't even purchase underdrive pulleys, chips..yeah right the car doesn't have any! Try a header....better off making one from scratch.(if not help me get the legal race weight at least down to the 2559lbs factory spec!!) Thanks in advance. (sorry for the bellyaching )

Not a clue on anyone who make IT legal parts for the M-44, pretty much an orphan in the auto-sports world. Although you can get one from Bavarian Engine Exchange, but it'll have teflon coated pistons for that race winning edge :P I also wouldn't be to sure that a fully developed header would help things as the stock manifold is about as good as it gets. The one that was racing in Sweeden had an S-14 in it. I'd think it's pretty much fixed to the stock hp numbers and not much can be done to move it.
