A larger throttle body increases the amount of air (and thus fuel) that can enter the engine resulting in a performance increase. Coupled with a high flow intake manifold, this upgrade can produce between 20 and 25 bhp, or 1pprox 10 bhp on it's own ( E36 328).

Applications :

- E36 M52 6 - cylinder engines
- E36/E46 M44 & M43 4 cylinder engines
- E30 M20 engines ( 320, 323, 325)

CARBON DYNAMIC AIRBOX

CDA filtering system is composed of a cylindrical carbon air box containing a washable filtering element. Substituting the original air box with our CDA, cold air is directly channelled through an internal airflow deflector to the filter and drawn into the engine with a very small pressure drop (patented system). The CDA system also includes a black alloy ducting (60 cm length) for connecting the system to an air intake on the front of the car. The system is available in two different dimensions: we advise Type 1 for engines up to 1,600 cc; Type 2 for bigger displacements. Every type is also available in different diameters on engine side for connections. Dyno and Datron Laser tests demonstrate the great performance of CDA filtering system.

CDA EVO 2
CDA filtering system, now available in the second step EVO 2, is connected to an air intake in the front of the car through a black alloy ducting. Thanks to the dynamic air intake you have a true supercharging system that conveys cold air at a speed and capacity much bigger than with traditional systems. The airflow entering through the dynamic intake is still further accelerated due to the conical flow variator inside the carbon dynamic air box. Finally, dynamic over boosting, greater airflow, higher pressure and colder air are the elements assuring a considerable increase in engine performance in power and torque. Thus demonstrated by several tests on a Dyno. CDA EVO2 WING, available in 2 dimensions, can be fitted on every kind of car.

E60 M5 KIT

 

High flow / high performance air filters that simply replace the factory original versions within the factory airbox.

PERFORMANCE
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.

DESIGN AND MATERIALS
Qualified engineers using advanced software and expert technicians using the latest technologies produce BMC air filters. An F1 filter must be very light, must be made of the best raw materials and must improve performance. For this reason we 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.

ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY
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.

After trying out and dyno-testing at least 5 different induction kits from different manufacturers for BMWs, we can confirm these are the best we have come across for European BMW cars.
Unusually for such an induction system, it actually boosts mid range as well as top end power delivery and response.

We have dyno measured an increase of 8 horsepower increase over standard E36 M3 evo airboxes.

Performance of this system is almost entirely down to the fact that it completely isolates the area around the air filter from the engine bay heat due to the most efficient heatshielding system on the market .

Most induction kits are sold purely as a filter kit that bolts directly onto the end of the airflow meter; this is fine until the engine actually warms up and the hot air gets blown onto the filter by the radiator fan, thereby raising the temperature of the intake, meaning that air is less dense, meaning less fuel is delivered to the engine which actually produces a DROP in power and throttle response. No matter how much piping and ducting you direct at the filter, you will LOSE POWER unless you have a sealed heat resistant box around it.

Due to the sealed cold box construction of this kit, the temperature difference between the adjacent engine bay and your air filter housing at full operating temperature will be in the region of 70 DEGREES FARENHEIT!! ( See lower two images on the right for comparison).

The heavy, double insulated CAIS walls will help maintain the colder air intake charge even under extreme hot, humid conditions. Genuine carbon fibre grill cover is included with the kit, ( not the heavy steel version you see in most pictures here )

BEWARE of inferior imitations of this kit , theymay look the same but do not insulate against power sapping engine heat anywhere near as much.

What is included:

-Hi-flow K & N cone filter.
-Shaped double wall heat shield.
-Bonnet seal around "box".
-Choice of full carbon fibre grille cover OR black painted metal grille covers.
-Mounting collars and clips.
-Metal tube connector.

Fits: All 6-cylinder E36 & E46s. NOTE: This kit was originally designed for the E36 but with minor modification will fit the E46.

Fitting Time: 1hr 15 mins

Fitting Time: 2.00 hours.

These top of the range "High-End Intake Systems" is made without compromise to maximize the overall performance of air intake systems as one complete unit. Conical air filter, placed within the inner and outer of center cone, controls air turbulences that in turn forces the speed of airflow to accelerate. Each carbon intake is custom made specially to meet the specification of the individual car .Other mechanisms within the systems, such as heat insulation and air-cooling, are also carefully designed to work in synergy to produce the superlative performance of the whole unit.

The system isolates the engine heat, delivering cool air to the filter, and performs the function of an air chamber, giving priority to intake efficiency The shape is specially designed for each model, taking into consideration the engine characteristics and the character of the vehicle.

In order to achieve even better air-intake rectification, center cones have been installed in the filter tops and inners.

The filter has multiple layers of natural cotton, strengthened using stainless steel mesh. It is a wet type using special oil. It is accordion-shaped, maintaining an enlarged air-intake area with control of any deformation due to the negative pressure. With a grid structure, the filter rectifies the air-intake while filtering.
