    Absent a group buy, I think Karbonius themselves are the cheapest way to get them. Hit them up on facebook or whatever.

        E46 M3 CSL Airbox made by Karbonius. This is by far the best Carbon Fibre Airbox we have seen and dealt with in the past and the attention to detail is almost identical to the Genuine BMW AG E46 M3 CSL Airbox supplied by BMW, manufactured by Die Wethje. These boxes are made from the finest quality Pre-preg carbon fibre 2 x 2 twill material which when completed makes these boxes ultra light and rigid.After the moulding process is finished in the state of the art Aluminium mould the part is then left in the Autoclave and this process is the finishing touches to a truly superb piece. The 'M Power' sticker which can be seen on the top of the Air collecter is supplied with the Airbox. Option 1Plastic trumpets version: This is the same airbox but with plastic trumpets (same as the OEM CSL). This goes with 2 year warranty. Airbox is cured in autoclave at 120ºC and 3 BAR prssure. (NO LONGER AVAILABLE TO ORDER FROM KARBONIUS) Full carbon trumpets: This piece comes with 5 year warranty. Airbox is cured in autoclave at 135ºC and 5 BAR pressure and has 1 extra varnish coat applied.

            ORDER DIRECT THROUGH KARBONIUS

            Don't know why anybody would order through ECS or wherever at some insane markup..

              I paid $2,722.37 including shipping and duty fees for a carbon trumpet airbox and carbon snorkel directly from Karbonius. This was about a month ago. I would just order directly from them

                They're almost the same price as Turner for what you get. The base airbox is under $2k

                  Yup. Shipping wasn't bad either considering the size of the package and the fact that it was coming from spain. $217.59 shipping for my order. $71.00 duty fees.

                    I bought mine from ECS during a limited quantity sale and it ended up being a pretty fair deal. I believe all of theirs will be the carbon trumpet version.

                          I know that Lippstuh (organized M3F groupbuy with Karb) had confirmed many times that Karbonius was not open to doing another group-buy. This is probably in relation to them selling on Turner/ECS now.

                            Well then I wonder how they feel about their distributor undercutting their price with a competing product.

                              Who knows? I'm confident that Karbonius is slammed with ordering exceeding their production capacity, and competing airboxes have been a consumer option irregardless of distributor.
                              My point was that there were literally dozens of people asking about the possibility of another Karb group-buy in the past, and it was a HARD NO conveyed through the organizer from Karbonius..
                              ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
