From my M3 that is: http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=90567086

Pretty much stock apart from tints and the CF intake. click to view larger images:

Here are some pics - sound to follow at some point soon. Install all good, no problems at all. Click to view larger image. I fitted the small air filter to the top of the hose that took an air-feed from the airbox - looks cool too but it sits under the CF one so you cant see it.

Have some more good pics recently - will post up soon :-)

just sold my camera - so will have to borrow one :-)

Now fitted, all good. Sounds awesome - people hear me coming more now. It feels like the CF cone is shouting 'outa ma way' :-) Definately smoother and bit more power. Go umnitza!

here is a pic of it - looks the biz. some questions for a noobie: I have looked at the existing airbox and have a couple of questions (pics attached) so you can see what mine looks like. 1. There appears to be a small hose (bout 2inches wide) exiting the airbox and going down under the engine - seems like a cold air feed for something. What does this do, should I remove it completely or just unclip it from the existing box and leave it there? 2. The existing AFM unit appears to be molded (fittings etc) specifically for the OEM airbox. do i need to try and modify it or do I need another part? Also it seems further back in the engine bay - so I might need an extension pipe too? Cheers

Make that three :-)

Also for Renault 5s and Clios - thought they did vdubs too (not sure) :-)

Go on, put a Dimma kit on it - you know you want to :-) Ultimate UK hot hatch for a while.

Bit like those Square shaped crisps you could buy in the UK - Naff!!

^^^^^^^^^^ | Definately with this guy - those M5s smoke!!

Thought it might be Hybrids next car :-p

Agreed!!

Me? the M5 with the manual gearbox everytime

If you had $22k which would you buy? http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/C...on-89290997.htm or http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/C...on-89214855.htm

looks awesome - black with black leather may be a bit hot in summer - looks tempting though....

Aiii for real - whos dis?

lives up my way seen it on the road. see the other 635csi in the garage in the other photos ;-p http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/C...on-89214855.htm

yep that was my daughter in the passenget seat - we were on our way back from the drags at Meremere. Thought I recognised the 'blur' as you travelled at warp speed mate ;-p

Parts should be (a bit) cheaper then - I would suggest looking at a few M3s then make a decision based on condition and history - you should also get a feel for what is normal in terms of how they drive.

yep good idea - the yanks reckon it sounds good after 4000rpm when the S50 engine really gets going anyway :-)

Thanks - not sure why Basil didnt list it as an option - anyway never mind - deals done now :-)
