Link please.
Edit: never mind. Sometimes things look odd on an iPhone. As to the CAI, no dyno sheets or 0-60 times? I'm sold, sign me up.

I think they've placed the decimal point in those figures one digit too far to the right...

Right.
Sounds quite optimistic, even if starting with fully stock engine with dirty air filter.

![]() "Two-point-oh" horsepower, I could live with (*maybe* )I think aFe is a respectable company, but this really stretches the limits of credibility. If they offered iron-clad PROOF of these outrageous claims, we would have to approach them with terms for a group buy, and beat them up for a serious discount....

Better air flow, ok i could see that as possible. But 20 extra HP, I call BS.

it's more like 20 extra decibels of engine noise which is beautiful when you're on the throttle hard.
The stickers that come with the kit are the ones that give the true 20hp as long as you stick them in the appropriate exterior places. Your forehead is one of them.

Same kit on our website here:
aFe Stage 1 Cold Air Intake System Type Cx BMW E46 3 Series Honestly, what you see on their website is overpriced slightly, and incorrect on power. Realistically you should be looking at under 5HP or so, but it's more for the sound than anything else if you ask me, really opens that straight six up.
