The idea is similar to RPi's ram air scoops that they have for newer model BMWs. I doubt it does anything that they claim but it definitely wouldn't hurt. It hooks scoops up to the existing intake system to get more air to the stock airbox. Ive been thinking of making something similar to get more/cooler air to my CAI on my E46.

I'll do the heatshield soon as well if everything goes accordingly.
One last thing, if you look in the second photo you'll notice some duct tape on the accordion tube right behind the air mass meter. I have some rot to several parts under the hood seeing as nothing has ever been replaced. Anybody know where I can get that particular part? I have been searching but cannot seem to find it. Been thinking about going to BMW to ask them what it is.
You're all awesome for your useful knowledge. Just sayin'. I'll post photos of stuff when it's a might cleaner. |
This site is like your BMW bible-
