GruppeM intake for 330i - BMW 3-Series (E90 E92) Forum

ryce2go · 11-09-2005, 03:04 AM

I contacted GruppeM and they told me it would take them 3 weeks to make the kit... and he gave me a price of..... READY....

$890 USD includes shipping from Japan

Not a bad price, eh?

Nice!!!!!!!!!!

lux.sh · 11-09-2005, 03:53 AM

$900 for an intake. awesome. I guess im not getting one.
looks real good though.

a burrito · 11-09-2005, 05:10 AM

deeeeyam! $890...talk about pricey

lux.sh · 11-09-2005, 05:12 AM

damn. for a second there, I thought you two were same guy.
One of you should change the signature picture. it looks so identical.

Mikey3 · 11-09-2005, 06:05 AM

nice... but for $890... what does it do?

tiga901 · 11-09-2005, 09:26 AM

Any HP gains...I would not want to fork $900 for a cosmetic intake that nobody sees.

YYdoodle · 11-09-2005, 09:28 AM

Gruppem intakes are the highest quality stuff I've ever seen. But you pay for it!!

Robin Hood · 11-09-2005, 09:29 AM

For 1900 euros you get the 'M' limited slip differential(locking from 0-100%) from www.drexler-motorsport.com.

THAT's more like it

ben1364 · 11-09-2005, 10:07 AM

I too would like to see some specs. as well as dyno numbers along with a statement regarding whether it has been approved by BMW. Cosmetics under the hood don't cut it with me.

Sho · 11-09-2005, 11:22 AM

Wow! $890 for an air box?

blackE90 · 11-09-2005, 11:29 AM

Didn't BMW already put alot of R&D into the oem intake on the e90...

i dunno id need some pretty compelling proof

coco · 11-09-2005, 01:46 PM

ryce2go, GruppeM usually has dyno plots of all their intakes. Do they have anything they can show us? Thx.

Yea all their air intakes are that much. Not saying that that's a good price, but this is about what they charge for other cars too.

EVO_S4 · 11-10-2005, 01:16 PM

another item on my list

AW330i · 11-20-2005, 06:09 PM

who will sell it??? I know that modbargains caried it for the e46 but i dont see it on their website... I checked gruppe m's website and they say that it is available...

RichP · 11-20-2005, 07:59 PM

I would like to see the filter they use in this kit, that special K&N they use on their other kits (small cone) simply does not have enough surface area on it to be useful.

But yes, their quality and carbon fiber is absolutely top notch.

Tierfreund · 11-21-2005, 02:30 AM

That looks very much like the stock aribox only in CF. Cool. Goes to prove there´s not much to improve on the stock intake setup except maybe looks and weight.

Finally a modder who gets it....

lux.sh · 11-21-2005, 02:57 AM

Fujita's intake proved hp/tq gains.. hopefully its not true.

Arby 330 · 11-21-2005, 06:27 PM

so i believe you guys, it is top quality. What does the quality of the CF they use do for 900 dollars though when its under my hood. I would be hapy to hear that they even have a 5hp gain. Also where can i get this

D&G · 11-25-2005, 03:01 AM

THis is no different than any Intake system out in the mkts. Very popular ones with big gains are AEM Cold Air Intake which only cost around $200. Wow $890 is way too steep for an intake system.

bavarian19 · 11-25-2005, 06:58 PM

Lets see some dyno results. I would consider this if it gave any decent performance gains...
