just came across this searching for random crap on ebay. wuddya guys think? legit or not?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Merce...spagenameZWDVW

ya i saw that too weird looks like all you would be doing is sucking up engine heat

I understand the importance of keywords when searching so that leaves me to wonder how many hit the action gets on "CLK32"

this thing is crap its just a new picture and ad/action of the same junk thats been on ebay for a very long time.

I wonder if this intake comes with a badge for the back Like Kleemann, Brabus and Renntech do. I can see it now "C32-AMG-EBAY" man that would be rare.
Maybe some side stickers that say "Powered By EBAY"

Total garbage. Just look at the models that this 'expert' thinks this applies to. How many of these don't actually exist?

The E63 and the ML63 share the same W212 chassis? 2002 W201 C32? 2000 C32? 2001 CL63? No 6.3's available in 2001...

Don't waste your money on this junk.

I dont know if I would trust those foam filters that look like they came off an 80's vintage microphone.

These things are total junk...there was a thread about these awhile back. Total garbage. They suck up the hot air and the foam falls apart.

these come up every so often run don't walk away from these things. they are horrible they suck in HOT engine from bay. the current setup on your cars work very well. they are good cold air intakes. they work very well when at speed, forcing air in.

I totally agree....the only thing i would do is the green foam k&n filters or the kleemann or renntech airbox setup.

+1

For air filters, I would only go with well known companies, such as, K&N or BMC.

I like the K&N personally, but BMC is great too. Really it comes down to the color...green (K&N) or the well known red of BMC. Both are made to do the same thing...

BMC air filters are designed and produced to ensure a higher air flow than original paper filters. In F1, for example, BMC cotton filters minimize the loss of air flow pressure passing through the air filter; this way ensures the best conditions for full exploitation of maximum power. Therefore the benefits of replacing the original paper filter with BMC cotton air filter, produced using the same technology and materials as the F1 air filters, are evident. Qualified engineers using advanced software and expert technicians using the latest technologies produce BMC air filters. A filter must be very light, must be made of the best raw materials and must improve performance. For this reason they use only alloy mesh with epoxy coating to ensure protection from petrol fumes and from oxidization due to the humidity of the air. The filtering material is composed of a special cotton gauze soaked with low-viscosity oil to give you the best air permeability. BMC technical staff has developed a particular production system based on soft rubber moulding which produces the familiar BMC red filters. They are made in one single piece with no welded joints in the corners, thus avoiding breaking risks. This system, called "Full Moulding" comes from R&D in F1 and it is significant of BMC air filters' technical and quality specifics.

K&N Green Filters are engineered to fit your specific year, make and model.

The hand-molded flexible rubber base gives the Green Air Filter an airtight seal

The second features a super-fine weave that captures particles down to 5 microns. The fabric is deeply pleated to create more dirt-snagging surface area. A stiff, green-toned stainless steel mesh protects the cotton filter medium, so Green Filters last virtually forever. The special hand-molded rubber base creates an airtight seal with your filter box keeping the muck out. Backed by a lifetime warranty.

Hmmm... interesting. In my entire life, I have never seen a green K&N filter. K&N's are always red, because of the red oil they use. Green filters are a completely different brand... aren't they?

IMHO, BMC filters are overpriced examples of K&N's - they're essentially the exact same thing, but made in Italy, imported here, and sold at 2-3x the price of the K&N equivalent.

The Green filters are made by K&N i assure you. 60 bucks a pop x 2 for the C55...And yes, i always thought that the BMC's were over priced. I have been using K&N for years...in my Honda's and on my GSXR750 and have never had a problem from them. Google works wonders...just google K&N Green Air Filters...or look up Euroteck.com they are there.
