There seems to be some confusion around 2014+ F30 Bimmers in a manual gearbox, as Injen and other manufacturers list only 2012-2013 F30s as a proper application for those Bimmers equipped with a rare manual transmission. Apparently the manual equipped models have different vac lines than the automatics (not sure why). 2014+ has the same N55 motor and the only variable I am aware of is that most 2014+ models have the electronic wastegate while some of the older F30s have the pneumatic. I'm not convinced this is the reason, as I've heard that some older F30s do happen to be equipped with an electronic wastegate.
Can anyone shed any light on why an intake good for a 2012-2013 F30 Manual would not work on a 2014+?

man don't waste your money. a VRSF intercooler would be so much more effective. now that's a good mod.
