There are countless needless products on the market. Catch cans are another pet peeve of mine. Any product that adds complexity to an already functional system is a problem in my book. Too many "cash grab" vendors popping up on social media trying to make a quick buck under the guise of "helping the community". We're uniquely positioned to observe the fallout of such products...It's enough to make us salty.
In the context of fuel filtration...In thousands of M3's through my shop I can count on one hand how many were injector failures that caused major damage. There is sufficient filtration in the system. With the exception of Diesels, hardly any BMW (or other Euro brands) in the last 20 years have had a separate fuel filter- that's many millions of cars produced. Injector failures in S65 cars were usually obscure failures that wouldn't have been resolved by better filtration.
If you believe filtration is a problem and want additional protection, we recommend sourcing EV14 filter buckets for inside each injector. There's no money in that though....Guys with an expensive CNC machine have to crank out different and shiny products to keep their machines busy.

This is actually a great idea and probably a much better solution. I could never see or confirm there was a filter screen when looking at the top of the injector.
Do the injectors need to be modified to fit the NV14? Or can they simply be pushed in at the top?
