Just make sure you shield it well from hot air if you get it!

Price isnt bad,but wether it does anygood or not is a different matter.

Good luck and welcome to the Zone :)

I'm told that these cone filters are crap for the 318i, and your better off with the standard airbox/filter.

Graham is right, a yank did some tests on cone filters and whilst a 325i gains a bit (one or two bhp), a 318i gains nothing at all. He actually found once warm, the cone filter saw the car drop a horse...

5-9 bhp seems a bit optimistic for an air filter, but at 14.99 it wouldnt be a great loss if it turned out to be rubbish
