Need help ASAP. Regarding BMW M3.

[GThIrtYFiZle]

My friend is looking to buy a CAI for her boyfriends 06 BMW M3. Does anybody here know any good web sites where to find M3 accessories, specifically CAI at a good price. And which is the est for that car. Please guys need help quick.

From a quick search I did on M3forums.com, there are several options. Look up the K&N 57. There's also the "AFE" intakes, you can take a look at those.
K&N 57
AFE Stage 1
AFE Stage 2

If you're looking for the best performance per dollar ratio, they seem to think the stock intake with a "Streamline" filter.

If he's a brand name whore, some of those members believe the Dinan CAI is usually a good bet, but it comes with a big price.

Hope that gets you started.

My cousin used to have a BMW and I'm pretty sure he's purchased from here:

edit: Wow didn't realize an intake for an M3 is like $600-800! Wow

tell her to get him a dinan intake

People say the K&N + Software gets some really good HP gains. The AFE and some others are 2-3 times the price of the K&N, which you could spend on SW instead.

I have the K&N and it makes more of a mid-range growl than stock. I still miss the G35 exhaust note though!!!!

How much did you get the K&N and where did you get it from if you dont mind.

$600-$800 is unfortunately the cheap end of the spectrum. E46 M3 intakes range from $300 - $4,000...

$4k for an intake... that thing better add 50+whp LOL

It won't. It's an OEM BMW M3 CSL part. Requires some unobtainable software also to make it worthwhile.

I bought my K&N used on one of the forums. I also got used BMW garage door opener, AUX input, & BMW strut brace from the forums.
