Are there no laws in the US to prevent this kind of deception

[genphreak]

I just noticed that the eBay ricer marketeers have finally bowed to public demand and released this cold air intake for M20, M30, M50, M52 and M60 powered cars.

If one believes this we should all go and get rid of our cheap ABS moulded intake systems for one of these things... despite it looking like it is made out of the thinest cheapest alloy. Does it not consist of around $4 worth of low-quality Asian parts?

Surely the description is untrue. If this product has had any kind of engineering they would know this. The E34 has a highly unrestricted airbox and has a far better filter than most cone-shaped tack-ons.

They also claim it is street and emissions legal. Surely not!

They claim it to be a universal fit for all these cars. Surely not!

Heh, so that's why they say "All 50 states" in the ad?

Haven't we been through this many times? The original design is fine. Tell me if I'm wrong.

Yes I know Sorry to bring it up again.

I just noticed this ad, as opposed to the usual non-M30 ones. 2.5 litre drivers have been easy game for these guys fro a while now due to the popularity of the 320, 323 and 325 E36, but now they are claiming these kits will fit anything...

You know you can make anything fit if you add enough other parts and try hard enough. I know that these do not; that this is simply a scam taken too far...

"Pre-oiled" real nice.

"Pre-oiled" real nice.

Yes but like I said, (regardless of the lube) it won't even fit! But I guess they are figuring the buyers will work that out and end up sticking it somewhere else...
