That said, it is no longer a stock Club Sport. I think it's priced high because of the supercharger which isn't even mentioned in the ad. __________________ ...steven BMW CCA #146825 1996 BMW 328ti • 2003 MINI Cooper S • 2016 M235i www.bmwcca.org | | | 12-04-2018, 12:47 AM | #7 | Junior Member Join Date: Dec 2018 Location: NY Posts: 29 | Quote: Originally Posted by 1996 328ti Being a Club Sport only matters to ti enthusiasts.

The entire integrity of the otherwise brilliant intake system is compromised when the internal rubber eventually cracks and I haven't been able to find a new replacement anywhere. I'm beginning to wonder if these cool aftermarket things like the supercharger above and ITBs are partly driven by that lack of availability... besides the desire for extra hp. Rebuilding an entire stock intake system is so much work and expense, I can see why one might opt to remove and replace the whole system. I can't deny that I want one tho. | | | 12-04-2018, 04:48 PM | #12 | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2009 Location: US Posts: 315 | Ya the collector value is lost as it’s no longer stock. But the SC does have some value. Still a high asking price but it’s better than the Dakar 424K pos for almost 10K. What a joke. People see other value me rising and think there’s is now worth something. Agreed 1996, an extremely small amount of people care about the 318Ti, and the percentage that will pay decent money for one even smaller. As for one looking for intake diagrams, what do you need specifically? RealOEM should have what you need.

I'm looking for #6 on diagram 2. I've only found it new as part of an entire lower manifold for a small fortune. Will checkout RealOEM >> ok I found it there! My problem has been from searching with the wrong keyword combo.... "vacuum box" is all it's called. *smh* Last edited by rleniek; 12-04-2018 at 06:50 PM. | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
