Exhaust manifold
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 45 other vehicles, including the 2016 BMW M5, 2016 BMW 550i xDrive, 2016 BMW 550i, 2016 BMW 535i xDrive, and 2016 BMW 535i. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The exhaust manifold features air-gap insulation and a 6 into 2 runner system. Combining three exhaust runners provides ideal flow characteristics to power the twin-scroll turbocharger. The exhaust manifold and the twin-scroll manifold are welded together to form a single unit.
