Was bidding on this on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 8040705862 thinking it was just a generic carbon filter box. turned up today and its a bmc one!

Fitted it and im chuffed. smoother pick up and a nice deep growl. well worth the money and i think its worth the Ԛ£190 odd sal is selling them for.

:cool:

Total Bargain.

they do make a difference dont they! I found that when I fitted it to a stock 325i it revvedmore freely top end aswell.

I really need to get it tested on a dyno.

i wasnt sure at first if it was any better, but after a couple of miles i realised the power delivery is less agressive, it just revs cleanly from the start.

very happy now. will have to make a bracket to hold it securely (very technical cable ties used at the moment!)
