Probably the best one I've seen yet... function improvement or not!

Of course, I wouldn't bother ordering from them:

so where do you mount that horn like device? up against the headlights? That looks like a carbon wrapped fiberglass mold.. looks nice.

Realistically, nothing. It looks cool :) It'll give a nice roar over the stock airbox, but that's about it.

Wish they had carbon fiber for the fan shroud and other misc plastic parts. That plastic don't hold up too good on these old betty's.

Besides the roar, I wonder about extra dirt, any hissing noises, and if the finish on the heatshield wears with the heat. The carbon finishes don't last too long and compared to plastic I like the durability of plastic. I am not against the Carbon fiber ones as I have a Dinan tube in my e39. I also tried 5 different intakes including custom ones when I had the M50tu engine. Not worth the money for street and if only used for the track, the look isn't a subject anyways.

For the e34, I finally stopped getting all these little things and just concentrated on achieving that S38. The "M Power" looks much better than any carbon fiber.

Looks like the one I originally put on my 318 to replace the air filter the prev. owner had installed, just sitting there.

That setup looks nice TC. I've found that no matter what your heat sheild is made of, unless its sealed off like the factory airbox, the heat will just go around and get in.

Meh... I replaced the entire setup with a much better intake system... called a supercharger. :)

I think you saw it... didn't I meet you at the Pasadena meet a few months ago? You have a red E34? I have the supercharged 3-series with the 6000k HID.

Too baller for me.

Those are the first pedal covers that I've ever seen that improve 'aeromechanics'.

Amazing.

Yeah, that's right, we met at the Pasadena meet a little while back. I didn't get a chance to see your supercharger but i can't wait to see that next time!
