I am looking to replace the thermal reactor setup on my '75 530i and i saw these e24 headers on CL in my area. Does anyone know if/how these fit? its from an e24 Euro 635i so an M30 engine and should bolt right up to my 530i right?

They will bolt up to the engine, but if they're from an E28 based 6 series they will probably hit the steering linkage.

By the way, can you show us a picture of your '75 dark teal 530i?
Dark teal? Sounds cool...but not sure I've ever seen that.

The ad says they are e28 based so its not gonna fit. Bummer.
Yeah i was going to get my car washed and waxed next weekend so ill put pictures up after that. It is an interesting color, i tried to find out if it is a BMW color but i haven't so i don't think it is. It can change durastically due to light and angles of light so i have had people say it is blue, green, dark grey, teal, even purple once.
The original color was brown, like a poo brown. kinda gross.
Thanks,
