I fitted one on my car that had been bored out and fitted with the 3.5 butterfly. So not a zone body but HELL :clin: even my flat mate said it felt more "nippy" and mine is standard apart from a zone chip. I really can't wait to get the cam and then the 2.7 in :D :twisted:

Well worth the Ԛ£100, go for it.

Its not a massive gain but a gain non-the-less. And for Ԛ£100 squid its good. Remember the whole modding thing is a combination of little tweeks that add up.

Scrap the pod and go for a KnN panel filter in the BMW air box, or you'll loose power, cheaper and easier too.

Oh is it like the carbon dynamics box rather than the K&N or Piper X cone filters?
