What Cold Air Intake

[nadroj]

What cold air intake should i buy for my 91 318is? I was thinking about getting something like this http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=33663&item=2444675860 and boxing it in. Anyone that already has a cold air inkate kit have any sugestions.

sounds kewl but gives no performance gain.

m30 so it is reversed

Here is an m30 on an e28 so it is reversed but it is as good as it gets.

[OreoGaborio]

like... 5 at the crank... maybe

if you can get one cheap, like i did... go ahead & get one.

 

[nadroj]

where did you get your and how much did you pay

I'd like to know too. That Bavauto kit for $100+ is ghetto, pssht I'd rather spend that money on my missing hubcap.

it's a BMPD intake kit: AFM bracket, filter adapter, hardware, freshly oiled K&N....


got it for really really really cheap

buddy of mine hooked me up... he had an extra one laying around that he forgot about. out of the blue he offered it to me for free plus shipping, which turned out to be only 5 bucks... but i just shot him an extra 5 for his troubles

i actually ahve a no-name cone filter & adapter in my garage. no bracket though

Got a new cone filter and MAS adapter for $11.99 in ebay and then a high density bracker off ebay again for like $20. Over all spent about $50, sounds cooler in the engine sounds and there is some HP gain. It was worth the money.

does your E30 air box look like that? mine is fully enclosed and has a funnel piping air directly from behind the headlights into the enclosed air box.

I think im going to buy this one http://www.procarparts.com/store-detail.asp?sku=BMW-E30-8491-CHAL-XXXX-AISX from procarparts.com. its only $50 and it has every thing i need

That looks like a good deal. as far as horse power is concerned you wont notice the difference, although you will motice a better throttle response.
