Gruppe M Style airbox

Has anyone tried one of these on their cars?

I am thinking of getting one for my 330ci.

Thanks,

Purely for looks I assume? At that price I'm pretty sure it will do nothing for performance.

It's just an airbox?? Surely the idea is just to get more cool air into the engine. The Gruppe M box may be designed to create 'special vortices of airflow at the optimum pulse frequency' but how much difference can it realy make.

And yes, I like the way they look and wouldn't mind a bit more of a growl.

An airbox is never going to completely change the characteristic of the car!

A lot of £££ for little or no gain in HP. Don't believe the hype!
