The m50 has a little tube coming out the side for some kind of useless hose to hook up to.

Sound is great. Growls down low - softens up a bit through the midrange and then BAM ROARS IT'S HEAD OFF above 5.5.

Much much much louder than stock airbox. Obviously ;)

Thanks Chris. What type of filter is this, is it interchangeable with a K&N, and is it as good as K&N?

How's the performance? Did you notice any performance increases/decreases?

Filter is made by Simota (http://www.simota.com/), according to their website they perform better than K&N. Then again I've heard that K&N let in anything except lil kids on bikes as you drive past. Haven't done any research to back that up but and was going to buy a K&N up until I saw this one.

Performance wise - it seems a bit more responsive and it might have gained a few kw's. Could just be that it's louder. I'm thinking I might throw it on a dyno and compare with stock.

Hey guys, big props for this vendor. His products are fantastic as I've bought two things from him already (and will continue to do so).

Chris, is this a 3" or 3.5" pipe? Can you put on a different filter if you wanted to?

I only ask because Wix and Amsoil just started making a cone filter called "Ea" which is superb (allthough that Simota filter looks good too). :thumbup:

Oh, and PM me price for an E36 M52, thanks!

I'm pretty sure it would... while I was doing my M50 manifold swap I did some research and the intakes connect up to the HFM exactly the same... the only issue you might have is how close the CF 'bell' gets to the left of your kidney grills. I could measure from my TB to the front of my engine bay to see if you have about the same amount of room... :dunno

Very nice pictures, thank you! Do you have Ellipsoid headlamps? Curious if there was any 'room' issues. Also, still trying to find out if this is a 3.5" system or not... :( TIA

Good communication with the guy and he claimed he shipped
the parcel out after 3hrs of recieving my payment. If I get it within this
week this will be the fastest transaction I've ever had aside from ordering from
the city next door
*thumbs up to service thus far...Only worry is that it's not the right intake but
I highly doubt it

This guy shipped 50 M3 mirrors during our Group Buy - that is 50 5-0...I dont' think a single one took more than 4 days to receive from the time they paid. He's INCREDIBLE!!

On top of that a couple of the guys received goods damaged by the shipper. Did they have to send them back first? NO!! He shipped them a new product immediately at his cost and just had them send them back when they got the new ones (or not send anything back at all). As far as businessmen, vendors, and eBayers he is the Cadillac of sellers... the top Eschelon... the Nordstrom's of the online biz. ;) :thumbup:

I measured mine yesterday and it's a 3" - as far as I can tell.

Hopefully you can get a 3.5" one as it is an awesome intake.

Hey guys, i just read through the thread and i like the sound of this kit. I was guna get the 57i K&N kit but i'm having second thoughts. i keep reading bad things about the filter. also i would need to make my own heat sheild.
I've got a 93/325i coupe . i live in the UK so i presume its a euro spec M50 engine. with a 3.5 airflow pipe. "quote me if i'm wrong" i aint got a clue really.
Anyways. feed back seems good. so i was wondering what the price would be and if u ship overseas?
