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.

A popular modification in Europe for years now, these airboxes provide a larger, more free flowing intake and plenum, greatly improving your M3's power, throttle response, under bonnet appearance and engine note.

Made in GERMANY from mostly 100% pre preg carbon fibre, at 2.25 Kgs these also offer a significant weight reduction over the OEM plenums.

What sets our airbox apart from many other similar items on the market is that it is an exact replica of the Genuine BMW CSL airbox…BMW spent tens of thousands of Euros developing this item, so it would be arrogant of us tuners to claim to have improved it ! Like the genuine item it uses an INTERNAL air filter for best performance ( boxes with external cone filters never run 100% right).

It is important to note that we have also replicated the INSIDE of the BMW airbox too, (funnels, spacing, air seperator rods etc) as THIS is what makes the difference.

Like the genuine BMW CSL, this airbox eliminates the restrictive M3 OEM mass Air Meter and runs on a modified Alpha N type software. However we also offer a version for those that prefer to keep the Mass Air Meter and use an air external filter.

This kit includes :

- Carbon Airbox
- Silicone connectors
- Internal CSL Air filter

NOTE : Dyno charts shows power increase of + 32 bhp , measured on 2004 E46 M3 with 100cell catalysts, Eisenmann rear exhaust and this CA carbon airbox and software.

This Gruppe M Air Intake System is Suitable for Models Listed:

-Z3 M WITH LATER S54 ( E46 M3) ENGINE. FOR EARLIER S50 ( E36) ENGINE PLEASE REFER TO ALTERNATE LISTING IN THIS SECTION.

THIS PRODUCT IS EXCLUSIVLY AVAILABLE THROUGH CA ONLY

The 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.

Fitting Time: 1.25 hours.

Slide throttles operate just like they sound, in that the throttle plates slide sideways, instead of rotating about an axis as for butterflies in more traditional throttle body set ups.

Mainly used for racing, the advantage is that when the throttles are fully open, the plates are completely removed from the airflow, so there is no obstruction blocking the inlet path to the combustion chambers.

Currently availabble for S54 and some V8 engines, please enquire for details.

These throttle bodies have a +1.5mm larger bore than factory versions, offering approx 12% more volumetric flow at 7000 rpm.

Ideal as part of a larger tuning package ( either naturally aspirated or force inducted) or as a standalone upgrade. ECU remapping is recommended for best results.

These are exactly same design, specification and quality as sold by other companies at almost twice the price.

Fits all S50 /52 /54 engines.

This item will "plug and play " as delivered and provide increased pick up and power in mid - high rev range, but for very best results a remap would be required ( but not essential).

NOTE: £200 REFUND IF YOU RETURN YOUR ORIGINAL THROTTLE BODIES AFTER.

Fitting Time: 4.00 hours.
Estimated Installation Cost at CA Workshops: £230.00 inc. VAT
