hahaha omg there are still e30's with those bumpers driving around the US thats classic.

Drilling holes in your air box will acheive nothing but raising the temp of the air being drawn into the engine. replace it with a pod filter with a long extension so it sits as far forward as possible and put a heat sheild around it. anything else is a waste of time.

Walmart, love that place, 1n 1993 they had the usa's biggest in Kirksville,MO and i went there!!

loved the idea of the one year return policy those days (maybe still on now) where you could kit your student room out with stereos, TV game consuls etc etc, pay it on credit card, then return the whole lot after 360 days, get a refund then buy it all again after the summer break! you only have to pay for the interest!

now if that happened in uk it would be a pi55 take!!
