      No ABS, its just not going to happen with a pump down there!

      I used an M30 airbox on my last car with ABS fitted, my inlet temps are now up to 10°C cooler as the E36 box has a huge intake hole directly behind the headlights

        I've always like the look of the e36 airbox.

            Well I have the abs pump, and I cut the e36 box in half, got rid of the plastic below the filter. Got it to fit with a slight bend in the intake boot. If I removed the bracket for the e30 airbox I can get it to sit right, but I think I am going overboard- only doing this for BAR appt. My setup looks mickey mouse to the max

                The one holding the radiator? It's factory on late model cars...

                    question - what box is needed to make this work with a 3.5 MAF?

                      The box out of either a Euro 3.2l E36 M3, Euro 3.2l M Roadster/Coupe or S54 powered M Roadster/Coupe.
