Car Forum / BMW Cars / May 2008Cold Air Intake E36
Prior to replacing my 96- e36 manifold with one from a 92-95, I was going to install a cold air intake first; I'll install the manifold when more funds become available. I looked at Conforti, Dinan and ECIS, while they are all very good systems my question is why are there so many independent, basic intakes for sale on ebay? Are they crap? Is there a discernable difference between buying a Conforti for $300.00 as opposed to a no name for $60.00. I know I'll have to facbricate, or buy, a heat shield. Any thoughts? As I recall, your '96 gets the M52 motor and the prior years get the M50 motor. I'm not sure of the differences, but I'd fully expect the M52 to not have the cold air intake. That is, I'm reading that you are installing the air injection system that pumps in fresh air into the exhaust stream so that the CAT has an air supply to work with. > Prior to replacing my 96- e36 manifold with one from a 92-95, I was > going to install a cold air intake first; I'll install the manifold [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > $300.00 as opposed to a no name for $60.00.

Ask him how old the Earth is. |
