    We may or may not do an m20 box. There isn't enough room to really make a decent box. However, if there is enough interest then we'll probably make one.

      I'm definitely in for a bimmerworld 3.5" intake and m42 radiator compatible unit. I'm not cutting up my intake boot though that's for sure.

          Hopefully someone is local enough so that we can take measurements. That intake boot would be a wasted investment for us if only a few people buy a box with that provision.

              Where/what does it seal against? I'm looking for something to be able to flow better than the OE setup, without sucking up hot air, which most kits seem to be so good at.

              Does it pull from the around headlights, as I think it appears to? What's the underside look like? My ABS is here to stay (BMW managed to put in a system that doesn't suck, unlike modern fords/subarus).

              Gotta ask...


              Also, early model M20, if it makes any difference.

                Well if you do the research I will take one as well, m42 radiator=, 3.5inch MAF with bimmerworld elbow

                  I'm interested in the full intake kit. I too am curious about the sound.

                        FINALLY AN UPDATE!

                        Pics of the box with the top off.





                        Pics from the front of the car, with the headlights removed to show ABS clearance.




                        2 video clips of the box in action:





                        For any haters out there I already have answers to a couple of answers to possible criticisms/concerns.

                        1. The inside of the box will be much smoother then this one, as this was the first 2-piece version, made free of charge for the customer.

                        2. The crack on the box has been addressed, and that corner will be made stronger.

                          Hey all, I was the first one to rock this kit as a prototype:



                          It's even better now with access to the filter by removing the top. The Castros do sick work and it sounds great. I don't expect anyone here to take my word for it since I don't have much rep on r3v, but my car runs great with it and the workmanship is tops.

                            Glad to see the e30 finally in your possession Mario! :pimp:

                            And yes, Mario's car was the first airbox equipped car from the Castro's. Thanks for the support mang! :D

                                Yep let me know if you are going to make one for a 3.5 inch MAF with bimmerworld elbow. It looks like there is room to shorten up the intake box.
