Not to go off-topic but what would going to 9.5 all around to do the handling versus the staggered set-up? It would dial down the under-steer, right?

You my friend had a sick car, have a sick car, and have some sick picts. Congrats. Wish I could drift as u were in that last pic. Have any videos? Or mayb even more pics will do lol.

Nice looking carbon finish, but is the part actually different from the stock piece? I haven't seen/heard anything about it.

billspreston · 01-05-2009, 12:36 PM

Non-Staggered OEM CSL looks incredible on the E92 M3, I'm in love!!

Beautiful plenum as well - can you answer if the piece pictured here installed on your car has increased internal volume over the stock piece?

No matter where - on the road or on track

I had one of the first E92 and now all my buddies with CSL are switching also

I can´t believe that this car costs only 55% of the German price in the US

Nice pics, I have been wondering how E46M3 csl rear wheels looks on the E92M3. What suspension you have? Camber front and rear?

I guess this thread is drifting too far away!!!
For CSL wheels I opened a new one at right place:

It regular comes without the CSL - M Power sticker due to copyrights. Pictures show the box of my own car!

Soooo, If you were to mail one to the US, how much would the item cost in Euros?

I do imagine the two together, and I'm looking forward to getting the Airbox, I already have the GruppeM intake & exhaust. It's about eye candy & sound...

If I wanted a fast car I would have gotten some japanese AWD and modded the shit out of it. Subtle BMW was the idea - Space Grey, slightly louder than stock.

If it's about HP, how many horses do the VRS CF parts add? and don't tell me about downforce... Or heavier than stock wheels that a lot of people get?

Awesome, thanks Kev. Any idea how much those would set a person back. I imagine super expensive, 5g's and up.

P.S. sorry for the thread jack, just saw you made another thread!

daltonnnn · 01-07-2009, 05:15 PM

Going back to the intake plenum, does anyone know if it is bigger than stock? Any dyno numbers with it yet if it is?

Checkcaptain · 01-08-2009, 10:19 AM

Plus 1 Liter in Volume, should be about 10%.

$1876 for the set.

Per Bimmerworld this intake would be "mostly for looks and sound". IE - it does not deliver a significant gain in power.

Mach@M-Force_Design · 01-08-2009, 06:00 PM

Is this intake not made by BMW?

It appears to be the same unit CA Automotive is selling, only with BMW POWER decals on the exterior:

I suspect it's made in China.
Maybe, just maybe it could be made in Taiwan.
