Clickey no workey.

intakes dont do much. you want the most bang for your buck just make your own its much cheaper. buy a k &n filter,a heatshield and some piping. you can make one for like 150-200$ maybe even cheaper and get the same thing pretty much.

Haha, i love how the first word out of philips mouth was "DINAN!" Boy do i hate Dinan but i do like philip so i will let this one slide

I hate Dinan too, I used to be a Dinan rep at a dealership. Honestly I've had 4 intakes on my M3 and the Dinan CAI is the best in sound, power, and throttle response. The only one that was better in any area was the GruppeM had better top-end power (I'm talking above 5k rpms)

No dude, not at all. You can do much better for the money. The only reason I have Dinan stuff on my car is because I got the parts as "demo's" while I worked for BMW as a Dinan rep. If money is no object I'd say go for Dinan because it's the best, however money is obviously an object to all of us because we're driving e36's. Look at Conforti, AFE, K&N and ECIS, and I think Injen makes a CAI system for e36s too.

I had this one on my M3 before I got the Dinan CAI and it was bad ass. It looks cool as hell and it sounds really mean too.

Like I said in the PM- GruppeM and Dinan are never found in the same sentence as "reasonable price"

alight do you happen to have an extra one???or one you want to sell??

I only have the Dinan CAI that is currently on my M3 (and I don't particularly want to sell it). However, I wouldn't mind switching back to a GruppeM, so if you really want it I'll sell it for $400, which is $50 off of Dinan's retail price.

cosmo's racing 3.5" intake -> less than $250 I believe

Well, come on- if you won $10,000,000 this afternoon tell me you wouldn't be driving an '09 M3 tomorrow. I know I sure as hell would.
