E46 M3 Induction Kits - recommendations?

[wazadaza]

Hi Guys, Any recommendations for induction kits on the E46 M3, I don't want to spend more than £300 but there seems to be a few out there, I've already fitted a Scorpion backbox, and once the induction is improved I'll then get a remap done.

would not bother unless you just like the induction noise

Driver training would be money better spent

Thanks for all of your useful and positive help.

[dadofbud]

your welcome.

Bit harsh, so suggest that you refit your oem back box put the scorpion on E-bay, use the proceeds plus your £300.00 and buy 100 cel cats you will then notice the difference, rather than just announcing your arrival.

However tuning your driving ability is very "sound" advice

Induction kits of on E46 M3 = completely pointless

But, you know what you really want is :this:

You're welcome

Thats my car sporting the MAC Motoren Airbox on the left!! Induction done properly......

100 cell cats and a DECENT remap is all the E46 needs or warrants, induction kits are tosh IMO

How come the E46 doesn't respond well to an induction kit in the same way an E36 does? Did BMW do such a good job out of the box?

put it this way, i know alot of very fast E36 race cars with E46 boxes

That's good info, hadn't even considered that as a mod.

Assume you're talking standard E46 box, rather than CSL.

Straightforward to do? Decent gains (vs Simota or similar)?

nothinh to spill, yes standard E46 M3 airbox but needs some mods to fit, but they can and do fit and work very very well

I bought my M3 about 6 weeks ago and it has one of these fitted already so have never seen the original box. I don't know anything about 'Gruppe M'; expensive trinket or is there any benefit to it bearing in mind that the original is so highly thought of?
