Air Intake for a 3.0 E70?
 

Does anyone know where I can find an Air Intake for a 3.0 E70?
I know they make some for the E53 3.0 but haven't come across any for the E70 3.0.

Thanks:thumbup:

Haven't people learned that intake "upgrades" are basically a scam? You let in more contaminants to the motor, for zero to a few HP increases...and more heatsoak if it is a cone filter sitting in the engine compartment.....

It is, however, a perfect mod for people compelled to mod something- anything- just so they can say 'its modded'..

While I have yet to come across a modification to the engine that is worth voiding my warranty, an air intake mod is perfectly fine depending on its intended use.

For someone upgrading to a free flow exhaust and tuned ECM without the use of an increased intake flow would be a shame.

Really? So letting more particulates into the motor, such that you can actually see higher amounts in the Used Oil Analysis is perfectly fine? :thumbup:

This mod WILL reduce performance with a "free flow" exhaust (whatever that marketing term means) and a 'performance ECU tune'. This intake will simply be a dog out of the hole when the engine is sucking hot air from the engine compartment.

On the other hand, throw this puppy on a dyno, open the hood, big fans,... sure you'll see 4 hp gain.

But the most important thing is how the owner feels about their car when they open the hood.

My car came with one under the bonnet ;)

Yes it great!

One of the best money can buy:

- Optimizes cool air intake
- Constructed of material that insulates the airflow from the heat of the engine
- Provides an expansion zone prior to transit into the filter so large particles can fall out of the airflow
- Allows for planar airflow through the filter
- Uses one of the very best, ISO -tested airfilters available.

Highly recommended- haven't seen any better.
