I'm not happy with my current air box, it's made up out of two airboxes, might be able to get one from a 328 but it has the bit sticking out on the side. I'm using an s50 radiator which has the top rad house where the expansion bottle normally sits, will this bit sticking out get in the way?

Might fit then. What's the going rate for one?

Not too many 2.8 in Ireland because of the high tax, might have found one though

It will be in the way of the intake because you need to move the box backwards to miss the top hose
I cut it off and epoxied a piece over the hole

Thanks Dan.
Are there any other airboxes that will fit but don't have that bit sticking?

I used a 325 airbox, drilled and k&n panel filter

As above the 325i box doesn't have the triangle sticking out, but good luck finding one nowadays
