Was the blog post ever made? I'm very curious if there was engine damage and how the company reacted.

OP, this thread is kind of annoying tbh...

here is important information that members need to know when purchasing parts.... and how the vendor sorted it. you've posted it, then left it hanging... completely pointless... if you have no intention of following up and letting everyone no, delete the thread.

Yeah sorry about that, I will get on it shortly and share the information in a useful way.

Well done eggman - there are a number of us that care about what happened to you and are very interested in the outcome.

OK I have *finally* got around to writing a blog post that hopefully captures some useful information for folks who own these airboxes or are considering an airbox purchase.

Let me know if you see any issues in the post or have any ideas to improve the usefulness:

Thanks - and I appreciate the patience, took me a while to make the time!

Cheers,

Glad to hear your Z4 is back on the road! While I'm not looking at doing a carbon airbox on my car anytime soon, I have 2 friends looking into it. This is very useful information for them.

Thanks for updating it mate, glad they got it sorted for you, however I completely agree with your assessment. Pretty lucky nothing substantial went down the pistons.
