Hello E55 owners,

Just want you guys to know that Kronen Tuning now carries Gruppe M carbon fiber intake for your CAR! Please call for pricing!

 

Would the factory engine cover fit after you install the GruppeM intake?

 

Pictures? Website? Also, would this fit with the new CF engine cover that just came out too?


I wonder how the weaves would match?

 

I emailed GruppeM a couple of times about this product because I really wanted it. I was quoted $3,200USD the first time and never received a reply to my emails any time after that.

Are you selling them for a more reasonable price?

BTW.. Everyone I've ever talked to has told me that GruppeM removed all of their distributorships a long time ago and that they only sell direct to end-user.

Has this changed again or are these knock-offs? Sorry.. I have to ask.

 

That is absolutely LUDICROUS! $3,200?!?!?!?! I'll weave my own!

 

This is what it looks like:

 

I am going to get the pictures from Gruppe M USA. Thanx for your patience. Gruppe M says the front engine cover will not fit.

 

Its not a knockoff and yes we are a Gruppe M dealer.

 

Actually, its not 3200, its 3795 retail. We can have a group buy if we have more than 5 persons interested.

 

Well count me out unless you can get a really good deal for a group buy. Nearly $4000?!? How much does it enhance your performance?

 

Pictures attached.

 

Are there any performance gains or is it just cosmetic?

 

Gruppe M says its around 15-20 hp.

 

I believe it...you see the size of those intake tubes?! $4000 is way out of the question, though.

 

The mouth of the intake seems to sit behind the radiatior.
I would think that for it to be better than stock it would need to have less restrictions and access cooler air from infront of the radiator or behind the grill, not where the mouth seems to be located in the pictures?
Any comments?
And WAY too expensive.

 

renntech makes one too. good for 20hp

 

To make this viable we would need 5000 buyers not 5...

 

3795

 

I think I would rather have 2 limited slip differentials.

 

That looks really good! Anything for the N/A motor? I'd be first in line!

Actually, we already have the engine.....how much for just the carbon fiber intake?

 

Check www.gruppemusa.com. Thats how much they are CHARGING for the intake.

 

"Charging" and "Selling" are not the same thing...

 

GruppeM USA probably won't sell for under MSRP. A distributor probably will. I'd try to get a bunch of interested guys together and approach to tuner to see the lowest price you could get.

That's what I did with AFE and I got almost 50% or so off MSRP and free shipping and handling from one of their distributors.

 

Thank you for 'correcting' my sentence. Very helpful of you. As for the price, we dealers have no control over Gruppe M MSRP.
