I’m doing the 330 intake swap on my 2010 328i because my OFH gasket is leaking and since the manifold needs to come out for it, I may as well hit a two in one. I currently have the DISA Valve kit (11617579114KT) as well as a CCV hose (11617559530) from FCP Euro. I already have the manifold bought used and of course the housing gasket. I’m just curious if there’s anything else I’d need for this before I place my order.

Intake manifold and throttle body gaskets. Since you're removing them, it's a good time to replace. They are technically supposed to be replaced each time, but at least every two times you should. Figuring this is your first time removing it while so just do it and eliminate a potential issue that you have to go back in for.

You can consider things like fuel vent valve and starter, but if it ain't broken....

The manifold gaskets come with the DISA kit but I wouldn't have thought of the throttle body. As for the other things I think I'll be alright appreciate it though

Throttle body gasket is something that feels and looks like silicone. Not likely you will need to replace it. It won't hurt if you replace either. It is not too difficult to replace it later also, doesn't need manifold removal.

I'm doing the manifold, does it make sense to do the OFH at the same time?

[PhaseP]

Is it leaking? If yes, then yes. It makes it easier to replace OFH with manifold out of the way. The bolt that is under the manifold becomes easy to access.

Definitely starter if it's not recent.

I'd say so. The manifold needs to come out to do the OFH properly unless you know how to cheat it. But since I'm doing the swap it's a may as well kind of thing especially since the OFH is a common leak on the n52

Manifold doesn't need to come off. You have to get a 1/4 inch E10 swivel torx socket. I got one from Turner BMW.

This is true, but he's swapping intake manifold anyway, so he's good either way.
