Can't read German I'm afraid, but I've put the text into a site that allows free translation.
Reading between the lines the bloke bought it from Harmann on the premise it would produce 350HP (possibly without any other mods). It didn't, but he had the car set up elsewhere and got 340HP. Now for sale as he's bought a supercharger kit. Only a rough guess/interpretation sorry.

Basically saying:
You're bidding on an Harmann airbox for the Z3M Roadster/Coupe.
Basically says with just the airbox you'll just change the induction sound but with a re-map you can get a decent power increase.
He says the 'supposed' power output of 321 bhp is often an exageration...actually usually 5-10% under this. Out of intertest, he had his car tested and it was putting out 299 bhp...with the Hamman Airbox and map!
He then got the firm 'Hightec' in Vierheim to re-map to Gruppe N spec and within 2 hours they got it up to 340 bhp for a cost of 480 Euros.
The rest is all to do with the cost of buying the Hamann Airbox...apparently 3499 Euros just for the airbox alone. And no guarantee etc etc
He's selling the airbox because he's fitting a supercharger which isn't compatible with this airbox.
But it does beg the question..."!f a genuine 321 bhp in a car that small isn't enough for you...doesn't it mean you're slowing down too much for corners?"
LOL
Hope this helps?

He says you're bidding on a used carbon airbox. He's selling the thing because he's getting a supercharger and it's not compatible with the airbox.
The airbox alone costs about EUR 3499, he says. And he says specifically that it's sold as seen, because EU law will soon state that there has to be a one-year warranty on used goods, so he's added a disclaimer saying that when you bid, you're confirming your acceptance of the fact that you won't get a warranty on it.
There's more in the middle, all about his BHP being below what was claimed and how he went to Hightec to get the car tuned to produce 340 HP. I think Derin has got that bit covered.
