M3 E9X Airbox - Sound like CSL!!!

GTM · 01-04-2009, 03:49 AM

If that airbox has larger volume, it will definitly help sharpening the throttle reponse even more.

^^ That's the million $ question!

No staggered setup? Did you use any spacer?

285/30-19 rear with 4mm spacer and 265/30-19 front with PZero Corsa!

Sweet!

Imagine this thing with the Gruppe M intake and you would have $5k in your hood with very little horsepower increase.

No matter where - on the road or on track

I had one of the first E92 and now all my buddies with CSL are switching also

I can´t believe that this car costs only 55% of the German price in the US

whooooa nice 3 wheeling, what is going on here???
is this supposed to happen?

At your local BMW dealer. They are same as the ZCP rims used in the E46 M3. The size that he used is 19x9.5 ET27 in all 4 corners with 4mm back spacers. Part number is 36112282999

Damn... that was the set up that I wanted but I was afraid that the 9.5" in the fronts were going to stick out.

I'm getting them now... thanks!!!

The inner front wheel lifting like that means insufficient suspension travel and/or too much roll stiffness.

Edman951 · 01-04-2009, 08:28 PM

The reason his wheel is off the ground is because he is entering the carousel.

Exactly. Basically a lot of carbon fibre which doesn't do anything really

Hot, but not 100% right - there are some sections on the Nordschleife, where you loose the ground. One main section is the entry into "Karussell", another one is the entry into section "Schwalbenschwanz" and there are also some where you go totally airborne, but you have to have a spy-photographer at the right time!

2. shot: Karussell

monsta · 01-05-2009, 09:00 AM

cool pics!

Mickb · 01-05-2009, 09:19 AM

Not to be picky but those look like very late entry points into both karussell and Schwalbenschwanz

At least my instructor at the BMW driver training would have said so

So come over in April and show me the right line - maybe I can beat the 7:50min thereafter

That's an interesting E46. It's not a CSL (has a sunroof) but it has 4 CSL rear wheels, CSL front bumper, and it doesn't have HIDs. And it's Estoril blue.
