As for the IAT bung, I've gotten word that it is being moved to the front of the box - but haven't received pictures or clear description of where. I'm told it's going to be placed in a similar position as the Evolve box (so possibly the unfiltered portion of the box?) but I'm unsure. Like before though, it can be placed anywhere the buyer requests. Should anybody be interested, it appeared the original location on the top would have been in line with the oil filler cap. P.S., not my engine, I couldn't let mine get that dusty. Another update, unfortunately the boxes have been delayed a couple weeks; but they're committing to all pre-order boxes (mine) being shipped by mid-August.

First Prototype Installed on a Vehicle + Sound Check
First pictures of the fully installed box on a car (E46 M3). Again, apologies for the dirty engine bay - not my car.
IAT location will be changing, but is also able to be moved depending on the purchaser's preference. The hardware is also not final but rather what was available. Also, here's a quick video of the sound check at a standstill. Source: http://www.m3forum.net/m3forum/showp...postcount=1175

Updates...yes and no lol.
Cole's notes:
To at least keep some positivity here, I'm attaching the latest pictures of the 1 completed airbox. Of note:

thanks for the update. Indeed it looks high quality, but then again pictures can be doctored these days, until a member actually has this in their hands and in the car, it is as good as any prototype that is just a concept. Reminds me of penny stock companies that pretend to have a product but never make it to production.
hopefully this becomes reality. |

Rock, mate I really hope you get your box. I've got my fingers crossed for you. Good on you for giving the guys a go, and thx for the feedback.
Shame they are stuffing you around as it does look like a quality product. Looking forward to your actual box pics and install Btw that iat sensor position is stupid. Why would anyone choose to have it there is beyond me. The best spot for it would have to be on the far outside of the snorkel, furthest away from the hot engine source. Edit: if that was my box, I'd order it without the iat sensor position, and make my own (drill) it into the extended snorkel inlet tounge bit. Not mine, but looking to move my iat there.

I spoke to the guy yesterday and he said he would get me an accurate ETA today, but that "It will be surely be by end of the month". Sure enough I haven't gotten the promised update today so I'm still here twiddling my thumbs. Quote:
I also don't want to ask and drill it myself, because in the event I run into any issues I feel like it'd be more of a pain dealing with their customer service (potential for them to blame my work in placing the bung). This way if there's issues, it's on them. Edit: now seeing your picture I should add that this box won't come with the extended snorkel part. I'm waiting (hopeful with some others) that Karbonius develops and produces one that fits our cars without any adjustment.

Update:
"We expect yours to be the end of this month, so arround the 30th of November. Last one of the month is going your way." I think I'll be lucky if I got this as a Christmas present to myself lol...I just hope that with all the time they're spending on this they're going to be getting the quality absolutely perfect.

Here are the first official pictures of the 'pre-order' airbox I'm expecting - now called "Edition Silver Core". Comes with unique 'aluminized kevlar trumpets' and a serialized plaque with the name of the carbon layer.
Not sure how much I like somebody else's name front and centre of my engine bay, so I'm thinking of putting thin ///M striped over the bottom half of the plaque. I do like the serialization and location of the plaque, but kind of wish it was a signature instead of just his name (a la AMG). Mine will be finished ~11/30 and put on a plane on the 12/05, so hopefully in-hand by the 10th.

Not yet but that's my fault lol. I asked to add a Euro front bumper to my order and ship it together (to save on shipping) on Wednesday night so they're waiting for it to come in from BMW. ETA is mid next week, so I'm thinking I should receive them all by the 18th or so.
The airbox is ready, although I think they may be putting another coat of clear and polishing it while they wait. I have to admit - since the boxes have begun production and as we get closer to fulfillment communication has been a lot better from Streamline.

My box was just completed (and the bumper arrived) so it will all be shipped out soon. If all goes well I should have it by this time next week.
I have to say I'm quite excited, because it looks really good. Box #4 from Streamline, #2 of 10 on the plaque (first box was the prototype with the IAT on the top, second was their "marketing" box, and the next two are the special "Silver Core" editions). To note:

Apologies for the lack of update, it's been pretty crazy lately. I received the box just before the holidays, but since then I've been sent all over the world on back-to-back business trips and now that I'm back and settled I have no desire to install because I have a very uninsulated garage and it's currently sitting at -31°C (-24°F).
Anywho - here's some pictures I took right after unboxing. Unfortunately it appears I left my polarizer on and the pictures are much darker than they should be. I also couldn't capture everything so I'll have to take more before installing. Obviously it's difficult to give a full review without even attempting an install, but my first impression would say I'm about 8/10 satisfied. It's not perfect, but I will still proudly install it in my car. Especially for the price (compared to other quality airboxes), I'd still happy with my choice (so far). Firstly, the positives:
And now the negatives...
Streamline's explanation for the carbon defects: Quote:
EDIT: Took some additional pictures in the sunlight that better show some of the flaws I mentioned - mostly the carbon 'defects'. Nothing major, but as I mentioned above if that one at the back by cylinder 6 was somewhere more visible I would be a bit more upset. This is with the filter installed, so this is the gap at less 'obvious' angles.

I can reach out and see for you if they're still open. Not sure on the price though. Edit: Confirmed that as of right now there is 1 spot left, ETA March. Regular price is €1460, however for this box they can lower it to €1380 for a Z4M customer in hopes of getting more customers on our platform.

Yes please help a newbie if you can help me find a way to get on one of these boxes. Also, are they requiring full payment or is it deposit first then pay balance when completed? Thanks |

You can contact Streamline (Antony) through their Facebook (this is how I've kept in communication) or by email: https://www.facebook.com/StreamlineAutosport/Just mention Zpost, or that it's for a Z4, or my name (rockstar93/Steven). They are in Bulgaria so there may be a delay before they reply.
