What is the prefered upgrade brand??

[m3f_luckym313]

Earlier, I had posted a thread asking what mods to get. I think Im going to go with CAI, Manifold, and suspension. I liked the way the blue cosmo CAI looks, but then noticed that its only 100 dollars. Why is cosmo products so much cheaper then the rest?, are they pieces of crap?, or actually a good product at a good price?? What brand CAI would you recommend I purchase?

cosmos is an awesome product that doesnt jack the price up 400% because the intake is CF instead of plastic which will net u no more hp.



there is all kinds of good stuff.



personally i like



conforti intake

Supersprint exhaust

eurosport cam kit if you got the $$$.

TCKline suspension (cant really go wrong with GC though either)



pretty much look on turnermotorports or bimmerworlds websites if the stuff is on there its good IMO.

All an intake is is an aluminum or CF or whatever tube mated to a $40 cone filter. They're more or less the same as far as performance. Cosmos is made by a member of Bimmerforums (I think) and sells a good product at a good price. Dinan is rediculous, they are "preferred" by BMW and as such don't void warrenties so they can sell their $hit for unreal high prices (read: $450 for an intake).



I'm putting Ground Control suspension on my car after much research; UUC is a good company for exhaust, SSK, etc; it seems like most popular names you read about on here are all good, it just really boils down to personal preference.

alot of people are dinan whores........ but there are many alternatives in terms of money & quality. do a little research and check out what other m3 owners use

i already knew that

dinan intake is a good piece, espically if sound is your biggest want for upgrade.



its also nice that all their stuff is CARB certified.



but if your like most of us, we dont care about legality of products since it hardly ever comes back to bite us.



get the cosmos racing intake, unless you dont want to deal with the fitment with euro projector headlights(why i didnt go with cosmos).
