Z4M///ike · 02-15-2008, 10:20 AM

i'm getting mine installed today at noon. can't wait!

DirtBag335 · 02-16-2008, 02:18 PM

Pics anyone or review's?

BimmerZealot · 02-16-2008, 02:39 PM

You dont need pictures, they're all going to look the same, just look at the OP's pictures of the white Z4MC and get one for yourself

DirtBag335 · 02-17-2008, 01:54 AM

Yes I understand I just wanted to see some real life pics. The one's of the white M coupe are very close and show it off on purpose. I would just like to see how much you can notice it in a more real life pic.

Zeddy4Me · 02-17-2008, 01:59 AM

I will take pics of mine and post soon... I had Black and swapped out for Red... much better on my black car...

I am taking orders for the scoops. At this time, I am taking orders/appoinments for local Z4M owners only. I should be ready to start shipping them out of state in about a month.

I never had a CEL, but the benefits were nil anyway so I put mine back in.
There is a more detailed thread on B.fest though.

Taking out the charcoal filter DOES NOT cause a check engine light... and also taking it out does cause a bit of a bump in hp... GOTTA LOVE THE SCOOPS!!!

pbdm4k · 02-19-2008, 12:13 PM

any word on non-M fitment?

I've had mine out for 4,000 miles or so with no CEL. Throttle response has also improved.

Eloy is still doing the R&D on the Non-M's... We are basically trying to see if there is any noticeable gains. If there isn't, then the scoops would probably not be made for the non-M's... we'll see... I'm gonna be talking to Eloy tommorrow... will update tommorrow...

laidback · 02-19-2008, 10:30 PM

+1 i had mine for atleast 2k and no problems...

Im sure there will be gains, Dinan makes them for the 3.0s. Im sure gains should be right in line with the Ms. Are they doing the test with the filter and the scoops? Keep us posted,thanks

Zeddy4Me · 02-20-2008, 12:45 PM

I will be talking to Eloy shortly here, but yes, we are testing with the BMC filter and the scoops, LESS Charcoal filter and stock filter...

laidback · 02-20-2008, 03:07 PM

just for the heck of it I took mine out last night and I felt/heard no difference at all,

Ill leave it out until the next oil change when i'm under the hood again to see if possibly the ECU learns anything
But I couldn't feel a difference
