G8X cover on a F97

04detroitls · 03-23-2024, 06:02 PM

So I grabbed this intake cover off a m4
but only one mounting point hits on my 21 f97,
The larger of the (2) mounting points (by M writing on cover) falls about where the stamped circle on the valve cover
Is the g8x valve cover different and has an additional mounting point or is this not a g8x s58 cover? Those to mounting points on the cover are the only 2 on the cover.

sorry for the yellow on the RK intake, its pollen season here :P

Dont quote me but I thought someone made an adapter, or you can take your original and just take it apart.

You should be able to fit 3. 2 on the valve cover and 1 on the intake manifold. However, I did see someone that didn't have a predrilled hole on their manifold so maybe 21+ is different.

Here is mine

I mean... it would prob help if the cover they sent had all the mounting points on it :P

No, only because half the mounts were snapped off
