I do wonder if having my induction flap removed speeds-up the contamination process, but i'm sure that it won't have too great an effect as i normally boot it once warm anyway! :hahaha:

Yes I believe it does.

I'll check with my parts guy tomorrow to see if the prices have gone up on these. Might be able to get one in for you and post it over.

Just confirmed pricing with my parts guy ... they have indeed gone up in price ... I've got my old invoice and it was around about NZ$220 about 2 years ago ... but I can only get them now for NZ$287 ...

Just been having a nosey at these ITG foam filters Thorney is selling.

Anyone any opinions of them? I hear they're easier to clean etc, but what about noise? Performance? Throttle response? Thorney seem to swear by them, John might be along soon since the other site isn't happening lately.

Any info appreciated as I don't think my original filter has ever been changed. Looking forward to seeing what lies beneath when I remove it :bigcry:

All i will say is have a shovel ready to get the grit out :hahaha:
They gather some amount of muck m8 you will not believe :119:

That’s why I clean mine every month or so it takes about 30min.

Also i just bought a brand new 1 for M3 CSL in oz and with my discount
they are £80.20

It will be in the post tomorrow morning Richie :thumbs:

[SMD]

I think i might get myself one of these filters! Have ben wanting to clean the airbox out for a while now!

Group Buy! :-D

[bryce]

The retail price from BMW is £87.06 Part No 13727838625



Look at the light that gets through the filter at the window
