E30 Zone

the 325 i near completion, i would like to help the engine breathe easyer so im thinking about getting a panel filter. what sort is best?

get a gruppe m matey

lol

if no i here itg are the best

Standard.

Standard.

new that one was coming lol

evreyone knows no aftermarket airfilter can improve on the standard e30 design that could have been created by god himself even after 20 years of progress.
a k+n will give a meatier sounding induction rumble

I know, I'm so old fashioned. I just like a filter that does.

i think the k and n filters do help

so do i. i was being sarcastic towards some of the responses the original poster will undoubtably get.

Standard does the job, you know it makes sense!

they reckon on the bmc carbon fibre filter according to performance bmw mag

The BMC is worth it for the sound alone!

I'd stay away from K&N.

Mine has a green air filter, made a slight induction noise improvement but not as much as i hoped for. Will it have benefited power/torque at all?

"Luftfilter" It sez what it does on the box.

i takeit you have not hutd th gruppe m then ??? we tested a gruppe m

a bmc and a itg inducion kit on my 318is when it went for testing at evolve and the gruppe m(samota lol ) sounded the best

No I have not tested the "gruppe m" kit as Sal can not supply with the right casing for a 325 yet iirc.

I'd rather stick with a better brand like BMC than a replica by a relatively unknown company.

like BMC

you mean like bmc that lost loads of torque on the before and after rolling road tests

it did mate ilost torque low down in the rev range

Not noticed a problem on my car.

What car was it tested on?

my 318is as i say this was on my car

i think there are alot of variens just on my car it did not work

take it easy matey

Completely different animal mate. 2.5's have a reasonable amount of low down torque anyway.

I never noticed a change in fitting the BMC, And a mate of mine fitted one to his E36 323 touring and noticed a smoother response.

All comes from personal experiance, Mine has been good

thats the main thing with the induction kit i have on mine now the revs seem freeer

maybe just me
