and are really, really in love with the E36 platform, that's what the M3 shipped
with anyway. With a new engine you get a new intake manifold that probably has
more sensible injector interfaces.

I drove my car with this modification for about a year and it continued to run
very well through that time. After almost exactly a year I pulled my bootleg
adapters out and replaced them with machined adapters made by VAC motorsports,
available
[here](https://store.vacmotorsports.com/vac-motorsports-fuel-injector-adaptors-bmw-m44m42-p2454.aspx).
I'm sure it would have continued to run fine, as my modification was very
difficult to pull out, but the potential of one failing after many cycles,
especially being exposed to operating temperatures in the bay, was not worth it
to me. These could be machined on a lathe but this requires lathe operating
experience (and access) that I lack currently.
