CSL Carbon airbox - Where to buy? or one like
I just picked up a Z4M. I love the car but it needs more sound. Im loving the videos im seeing of the CSL intakes on the z4m.
Q's Where can I buy this? Will the E46 intakes fit the Z4m? Will any cold air intake deliver the same noice? Opinions on Eventuri? |

Evolve - own design, high quality
http://www.zpost.com/forums/showthre...ghlight=airbox Karbonius - oem replica, high quality http://www.karbonius.es/web_ing/prod.../base_bmw.html Geoff Steele - oem replica, good quality https://www.geoffsteel.co.uk/shop/e4...t-breathers-3/ I have an Eventuri, nice bit of kit. I don't think I can hear it at all though over the headers and exhaust upgrades. Think it made throttle response a little better. Overall good quality and looks pretty. Worth it compared to the others out there.

Another option is GruppeM that you have to check.
If you can handle the cost do it. I have the Karbonius. You will have faster response from them if you go to their Facebook page for order. Also if you need more info about the Karbonius let me know if I can help. Last edited by FD3S; 04-03-2018 at 04:28 PM.. |

I have one of the Evolve units. They appear to be exceptionally well made. Mine still isn't installed... but that's another thread.

Worth looking for one that reaches to the Z4 cold air feed through the slam panel. You avoid sucking in hot engine bay air then and faffing around trying to link the m3 version. And yes, the noise is worth it, they should have come like this.

What additional hardware is required to make your Karbonius work? I am coming across threads for M3s discussing MAP sensor mods, splicing wiring, and some crazy ones like DME swaps. Did you order for your z4 or did you order an m3 one form them to which to had to shave or modify the airbox to fit.

Likely ALFA N, which requires it's own tune. Most tuners (Epic, TTFS and BPC) should have the tune down pact.
I wouldn't pay all that money for sound though - power yes. |

The Evolve airbox comes with their alpha-n tune. It's good for ~25HP - and the sound is a free bonus.

Tuning is the most important part so choose wisely. Known tuners are Epic Motorsports (my selection), TTFS (I do not have opinion about them but I guess it is a good choice if later on you want to go the SC way), Evolve, ESS. The car after the Karbonius and the tune pulls stronger. But the best part of the CSL intake is the sound...

I agree, 25HP increase is marketing BS.

You can install the tune yourself, it is not something special, as long as you have a battery charger , because to load the tune makes more than one hour and the last thing you want to happen to you is to die the battery while uploading the tune. Also you will need a laptop with Windows. Vanne has written a guide about how to do the whole installation by yourself also for the Airbox. It has helped me a lot. Vanne and inTgr8r are right. If you want the noise you are ok. Last edited by FD3S; 04-04-2018 at 04:50 PM.. |

Having RPI and other exhaust mods, I doubt even a CSL air box will be heard. What’s the power gain difference between an air box versus say... Eventuri?

I can definitely feel an increase in power at 4 - 5k in the Evolve compared to having the Gruppe M. No dyno numbers to reference but there's definitely some gains. |
