Most carbon fiber products come from China, CF is very cheap to produce. It looks nice but overtime it cracks and the resin turns yellow.
Hence why we do not sell much Carbon Fiber products, we sell only the highest of quality painted products made in Taiwan, not China. And our CF products are made in Taiwan, we only sell the highest of quality products. We guarantee that our CF will not turn yellow. ________ MEDICAL MARIJUANA CARD Last edited by Mach@M-Force_Design; 08-31-2011 at 03:38 AM.. |

Seems there is some confusion over the carbon cover and the carbon plenus with increased volume.
I'm skeptical of 10% more volume giving an increase. No dyno showed, seems like it is just engine bay eye candy. The factory one covered in carbon obviously is. |

According to bmwfans, the stock airbox weighs ~11lbs, so there is probably 6-7 lbs to be saved there with a quality CF part, but the OEM one covered with carbon is a joke.
http://bmwfans.info/original/E92/Cou...1/ill-11_4129/ I'll call Bimmerworld to see if they have any weight specs on the CF top they are selling for $2700. http://store.bimmerworld.com/shared/...t=products.asp These guys claim they are saving ~8lbs with the true CF version: http://www.ca-automotive.co.uk/produ...faWQ9OA==.html If that is the same part as Bimmerworld is selling, you are talking about ~$340/lb. Not cheap, but I guess the real attraction is the sound.

OP, thanks for all the sweet pics.
Aren't they around $7k for a set, opposed to below?

Let me get this straight... You are swapping out parts designed by some of the top engineers in the world because some guys sponsored by a company told you it's "better??" But when you ask the same guy about tracking, "oh no, I have a kid now" or "I just detailed my car." or "i just got new tires."

Yes, with the exchange rate and all, they cost about 7K a set for the EuroCross 7Model.
