Where is the best place to purchase a gruppe m induction??

Z4-VILLA · 10-06-2010, 01:13 PM

ive looked around for you and i have to say that the gruppe m intake is mainly for the m3 setup....i am currently looking into getting a discreet porforation into the hood and having that as an intake.

Z4mpora · 10-06-2010, 01:38 PM

ok so at moment is there no decent intake for the z4m?

r4gs · 10-06-2010, 06:28 PM

^there is the gruppe m, and then there is the afe. both companies have specific intakes tailored to the z4ms. the gruppe m is approximately twice the price of the afe.

Getting a used gruppe m is the best thing you can do to improve the sound of the engine and increase thottle response. Buying a new one though, not sure if it's worth it.

Contact some of the vendors that advertise on this forum. Most of them will be able to order it for you; and they might even be able to ship direct from Japan. Rather then Japan to the States, and then on to SA.

Ok will do thanks. Went to the street drags last night and a mate had a e46 m3 with full exhaust system(except headers) and k&n induction kit and reprogram. And my z was still quicker... All I have is ACS mufflers.. So clearly our local guys r not as clued up as you guys lol

that really sucks for him LOL..all his mods together was probably around $2.5k or more? You guys only did 1/4-mile runs? How much were you able to pull him by? Or was he just a bad driver

lol!! No he can drive. We did about a 2km run. i am a nose in front untill 200kph then he starts closing the gap. I would have expected him to tear me apart from pull off!!! HE paid $1000 for a k&n induction, 1800 for exhaust and 1000 for ecu...

wow I'm surprised an intake system + catback didn't do much for his car especially with a tune. Just seems really fishy, unless those mods really were ripoffs

Z4mpora · 10-10-2010, 04:55 AM

That's what I think!! Lol.
