NEW LOWERED GROUP BUY PRICING

We have chosen to carry the AFE Intake Systems based upon their build quality and the fact that their filters outperform a K&N filter. it really is a nice kit, and all they have working for them is airflow engineers, and are dead set on having the best intakes on the market. Their heatshields are excellent quality, and the most of the newer style intakes have covers.

We are going to be offering MORE THAN $100 off and free shipping (at these new prices contact outside the Continental US for shipping)

Ends MARCH 31ST, Last chance

We had a chance to talk to the owner of AFE and get a close look at all AFE's products at SEMA this year in Las Vegas. The amount of research and design that are put into their systems really puts to shame everything else currently out there. The build quialty is the highest I've seen from any intake offered for a BMW.

carb legal for california owners?

A very important question, but YES they are CARB legal. Both the filter and the intake.

nothing for an E39 528i? :(

nothing for an E39 528i? :(
They said it is currently, "in production" so once it is released, I will certainly let you know and provide an excellent deal on one of those.

Is there any dyno information? Their website shows the data is coming soon for my application (E36), I'm just wondering if you've heard anything in the meantime.

Thanks,
Fred

I had asked the same question, and was told they will be doing it shortly.
www.afefilters.com in case others are looking to cruise their website. I can say this, all they hire is airflow engineers, and their e46m3 intake makes a legit 10whp.
The build quality is unsurpassed as is their filter itself. I will try to get some dyno numbers but can not make any promises.

any estimates on how long it would be?

i absolutly love my afe intake..... on WOT it makes the coolest noise :D and you can feel a difference....that was my very first mod.

any estimates on how long it would be?
I have received word that the 97-03 E39 intakes are available. These will be $415 shipped.

I am under the belief from them that there is a 3.5" inlet piece available. I will confirm

don't mean to be cheap but you can get the AFE for the 323/325 for around $340-360 at various online stores (non group buy prices).

Come on Diffsonline, work your magic!@

Would it be possible to get a cover for the E36 328?

98 323is do you have an application for this model and year if so what is the price with shipping to NJ

Currently they do not have the shield for the e36, that I am aware of. I had asked that same question a week ago.

The E36 kit fits, and all prices are with shipping as stated :)

E36 Kit Normally $370 New Group buy Price $270 Shipped

I purchased one back in Sep. for my 99 M3. The only mods I have are Eisennman race exhaust and the AFE intake and I get 228-230 rwhp compared
to 196-199 rwhp stock. And I did both mods together. These figures are from a G-tech pro and where done the same day, before and after mods.

How does this compare to the Conforti CAI (on a 95 E36 non-M car)? I'll be adding the JC chip this spring.

Dan,
Are you still willing to do a E39 540i kit shipped to Hawaii (zip code 96813) at the new $325 price? If you're OK, then I'm in. Thanks.

Is the free shipping includes Canada? If not, how much will it be to Toronto, Ontario?

I would honestly say the filter rechnology is better, by a lot. The build quality is identical, except the tube that connects the filter to the HFM is less likely to come apart.

[QUOTE=diffsonline]Yes, same price



Yes, still the same deal with us.



Thanks Dan. I'm in. Let me know what I need to do when you have enough people on board.

Anyone have a pic of this installed in an e36? Any clearance issues with ellips?

Do we have enough people for the GB?

I have some locally also, so yes.
Who wants what?

Dan:

When will you have heat shield for 98 323is???????

I am in on this guys and I am local. I will be posting pictures as soon as the intake comes in. :) Everyone get your orders in! This intake is probably the best made intake on the market.

I have some locally also, so yes.
Who wants what?

E39 540i intake kit, shipped to Hawaii. Pls advise on what we need to do. Thanks

What works best? You guys want to pay now? and I will keep the group buy running through the end of the month?
Shipping as I get paid?

I will check on the heat shield and contact the interested tomorrow with payment options. Thanks in advance
-D

Is the heat shield necessary or what would be the reason that they dont offer it for the 323is 98??

Is the heat shield necessary or what would be the reason that they dont offer it for the 323is 98??
The heat shield is not necessary and the shield seals against the hood liner.
The e36 and E39 kits do not come with heat shields. The Euro sized (3.5") e36 kit is in the works and will be a month or 2 before it is released.

It seems as though the prices on m3motorwerks are similar to the group buy prices offered here...

Is the heat shield available for the e39 or is it just not inlcuded in the group buy price. If the shield is available how much more is it?

Thanks.

I don't think the E39 kit comes with the heat cover (alum top cover)

Is the heat shield available for the e39 or is it just not inlcuded in the group buy price. If the shield is available how much more is it?

Heat shields are the whole black piece. Every kit has it. The COVER are not important if it is a tight sealed fit.
-Dan

Thanks, that's what I meant.

So what do we do now to place order and buy? Thanks

I am going to be bringing the group buy to a close shortly. I have a few people who were up in the air.

Ok, the intakes will be in my hands early next week for shipping.

Hey Dan... Will this intake work on my 95 318ic? I cant find nothing for this motor and i just want a nice stong sound from the engine.

I would like one for a 2000 540i. Just to confirm that it will work with Xenon lights and that it is CARB approved? I will call on Monday to place the order.
Thanks,
Manny

talk to you today :)

This may sound dumb to ask, but I got a bit confused when there was talk about some not coming with heat shields. So for a E36 M3 does it come with a heat shield or does it not? Also did you say it does have a 3.5'' inlet or not sure? Thanks..

They all come with heat shield, just not covers as there is no need. The intake seals tight against the sound deadening material.

The intake that is currently available will fit e36's with the stock air meter. The 540/euro HFM size is not yet available.

bump for a great product

I got mine for full price at another vendor when I was first getting started, and before I heard about Bf.c. It took the vendor like two months to get it to me.

The install was pretty simple, the quality of the materials is great, the sound is AWESOME, and the butt-dyno was happy. The heat shield has a rubber strip that seals to the hood liner and so there's no need for a cover (at least on the e36).

Mine fits with the ZKW ellipsoids. Changing bulbs is a bit of a pain, but it works with needle nose pliers...

This is a great price for a great mod.

Is this group buy still going if so shoot me a pm i would like to get it for the e36 m3

Due to an overwhelming response and requests this group buy will go another month through the end of March, then it will go up to full price, definately.

You got PM!!!

For you CALI E36 owners who are thinking about purchasing this and CARE about CARB cert. this is what the a service rep at AFE replied to when i asked about CARB:

"Thanks for writing in. At this time our E36 kits are not CARB approved. We are working on this.

Thank You

Michael D. Cain

Customer Service Representative

For

Advanced Flow Engineering"

hope this prevents any confusion about this kit being CARB exempt

A very important question, but YES they are CARB legal. Both the filter and the intake.
That bothers me that way back when I wrote this, Joseph at AFE had told me they were 100% carb legal.
I apologize for the misinformation.

Thanks for the head's up Flash

Do you have the kit for the X5 4.6is? I know they have a 4.4 kit, which should fit the 4.6, but I haven't been able to find out for sure. I'm in if it fits.

Just a question, eventually I'll probably do the HFM mod but right now I'm just stock. If I install the AFE will I have any problems installing the HFM later... e.g., will there be a part I can buy to fix this? Or will I need almost an entirely new CAI? Thanks!

One more question, what's the recommend cleaning procedure for this intake? I know BavAuto has the K&N recharge spray for $14. Would that work? Yearly cleaning?

Currently AFE does not have a kit for the larger HFM.
Cleaning is the same as a K&N I was told. Clean when it's drity. Everyspring isn't a bad idea.

Currently AFE does not have a kit for the larger HFM.

Hmmm to get CAI now or hold off till 3.5" and upgrade. Hmmm...

Any news on the 4.6is fitment?

Well I placed and order and Dan was super helpful and responsive! :buttrock :redspot

Now I'm thinking, we did the front end, what about the back end? *hint,hint* SS exhaust GB *cough,cough* :devillook

Any news on the 4.6is fitment?
No word at all yet from super responsive aFe.
I should know this week, and I will not rest until I get an answer.

As far a supersprint group buy, that could easily be arranged...maybe with an extra discount given to those who jumped in on the afe group buy.
who wants what for Supersprint Exhausts?

I got a quick question. I'm hesitant on pulling the trigger for this purchase only because of the increase in volume. I'm running a 2004 330i ZHP and i love the sound that's already emitting from the car with the stock kit. I'm extremely wary of adding on the intake because of my experience with my brother's Integra. We put in a CAI and my god the increase of volume at freeway speeds was unbearable on longer distance drives. How much louder is the AFE intake in comparison to the stock box?

The CAI in the e46, would add some volume to the intake noise. It would be similar to the sound of an e36. I can not speak for the sound increase from an Integra. All I know is BMWs
-Dan

I've heard that an intake on a Honda engine is LOUD! compared to a BMW, where it seems to give a nice deep sucking sound.

Alright, that sounds pretty good then. I just didn't want the sound to increase so much that during normal cruising speeds on the freeway, you'd go nuts because of the whining from the engine. I noticed that the AFE kit comes with a metal top. Compared to other kits like the ECIS or Conforti, will that help with noise reduction? My ride is also my daily driver so it would be nice to keep the noise down when I go on family trips!

As far a supersprint group buy, that could easily be arranged...maybe with an extra discount given to those who jumped in on the afe group buy.

Extra discount for AFE buyers too, that would be incredible and definetly twice as likely to make me splurge and spend the rest of my tax refund on the SS! I'm definetly in (well most likely, let's here a price to doubly confirm and hope there is enough people to bring it down). Cheers! :buttrock :redspot :alright

Is this kit the same one that you're selling for the E46 325/330? If so, just a headsup that their kit is priced a bit lower even though not by much. Now just waiting for the next paycheck before pulling the trigger!

http://www.m3motorwerks.com/products/description.php/II=313/PA=0

Why is the kit for the E46 M3 twice as expensive as all of the rest? Do the E46 M3 kits have anything different than any of the other applications?

Any chance you have a fitment for an E34 540i?

If so, I would jump into the SuperSprint exhaust GB as well.

Supersprint doesn't really have enough inventory to make this easy. What I will do is price each exhaust for each customer/model as you guys want it. I know there is one E36M3 system in stock and a couple e46 ones in stock.

Hey Dan, I've been doing a lot of research on exhausts and right now I'm torn between the SS and Stromung... but leaning more towards the Stromung. Any chance you can get those in stock? :devillook

I'm an E36M3 though... maybe price/and or better SS videos would sway me, hmmm...

Also did those AFE intakes come in and go out already? I've been waiting patiently all week but it's killing me now (c'mon UPS guy!) :alright

I would like to know this as well... Honestly makes absolutely no sense. :confused
Honestly, I am unsure exactly why it is more money. I do know that this is the only intake that has proven gains on the e46m3. At least that is what I am told. I don't make the pricing :help

ok if I were to get in on this, which i most likely will, what kind of pricing will there be on the SS?

Matt

Just got the intake in the mail last night and installed it today. Car is sounding SICK at WOT!!!! :redspot :buttrock

A tip for E36 installs with ellipsoids, found it easier to put the cruise control unit in AFTER putting the filter in... directions say other way around but the filter didn't quite for for me doing it that way.

Question though, my car didn't have the air temperature sensor... any ideas why this was NOT on my car? What exactly does this do and why have I had no CE lights or anything??? :help

Oh yeah, one more question, Dan, do we need to oil the AFE filter? It seems to me it came preoiled but I know some filters you should oil as well. Thanks!

wow, highly interestd... m3avrck i have the same car as yours was the installation hard? I sold my cosmos bc it got dirty to quick. the installation on that was kind of painful with horn remount and all. what bout with the afe?

the installation on that was kind of painful with horn remount and all. what bout with the afe?

Installation was very easy and straightforward. It was a tight fit with ellipsoids in there but nonetheless still fit... only way to get it to fit was to put the filter in FIRST then put in the cruise control module after and adjust/tighten. Took about 30 min to install.

No idea where my horn is but it wasn't mounted anywhere on that side. Hmm maybe I should check where it is located one day, hmm. :confused

hey is this the best intake? compare to cosmos, dinan, aa, ???

If I was to run this group buy again from now until the end of June, would there be any more interest? Same pricing, but i can add z4, and X5

If the e36 m3 one is still $270 shipped to 96813 I'm interested. Thanks

I would probably be down for an E46 M3 one now.

97 e36 m3 how much would it be? zip 62901.

i'm interested.

E36m3 are $270 shipped. Have 2 in stock for you guys.
I also have an E46M3 one in stock.
Give me a call Monday with a credit card 781 279 4444 at the shop and I can get them shipping :)

I put this intake on my 1997 M3... normal driving barely noticeable, but at WOT, car sounds awesome, definetly worth it, nice deep and throaty.

Thanks for the feedback, I just wanna avoid the sound associated with shi*ty done-up civics.

Oh totally agree, this is nothing like that!

I do not believe the BMW intakes are CARB certified. In checking the CARB website, it only shows truck intakes being CARB certified. You may want to check this before you have CA. residents buying them under that belief.
