Hi,
Are the blanking plates sourced from Bmw parts dept ?

hello all,
I'm from Lyon, France. My car, a 330D E90 from 01/2006 has a leak oil problem from the intake manifold. I was thinking doing what it is explained here, to replace the swirl flaps by plates. Do you think this is possible for this model ? Are the seals provided by PMW ?
Thank you

No, not all, but in most of them yes.
You can check a particular car for possible swirl flaps in www.realoem.com

I did, but it really dosent say much except for "Intake manifold with flap control", there dosent seem to be any replaceable flaps for my intake.
I understand that the metal blanking plates are not OEM, i recall someone saying that they bought new upgraded OEM flaps.

You don't necessarily need the blanking plates, but I admit they are a way to "save" the swirl flaps in one piece if you need them later for some odd reason.
