damn this intake is popular with the E46 m3 guys, its a bit pricey but i hear its well worth every penny. It looks emazing.

Looks really nice!!

Gruppe M is really making it big in Japan right now....I have heard wonderful things about the performance of their intake systems.....I think I will try them out...but quite expensive.........Let me try and find some more specs on it

Did my conversion come out right? its $3,610.44usd. I really hope that I am wrong, and if I'm not, WTF are they smoking?(would anybody buy one at that price?

Geez - For that kind of money - Go buy an ECU and Pulley upgrade!! I'll take that over what-ever the heck these guys are thinkin' with their intake!!

Yea looks pretty hot...carbon fiber...but that might be why the cost is so high? Id pay a grand for it maybe 1.5k ..not 3.5.

I wouldn't even pay that much $500 tops.

ThemisN

impossible...for something manufactured with carbon fiber..500 isnt realistic..i dont think so at least...

I can get a custom 5 layer carbon fiber hood made for $900. Its not that expensive...they just wanna rip you off.

Most standard intakes cost a couple hundred for lux cars... back in the day, when i got the rod millen one (it was hte only one out at the time) for my GS4, that put me back 400 with a stainless steel filter... If i paid that much then in that thin market...how much would i pay now for this car, and make it carbon fiber...something tells me more design and testing goes into making an intake than a hood.

to tell u the truth a lot of people have been complaining of the GruppeM intakes so i have reservation to purchase it even if it was reasonably priced
