Nobody makes a "cold air intake" for an E30.

For best results build your own setup with a proper heat shield.

Here's mine [excuse the zip ties, old pic]

it's a waste of time/money unless you just want it for the sound.

Sooooo true. A friend of mine slapped one together with bits acquired from a hardware store. It really didn't do much for the car performance-wise (not even throttle response), but damn it sure made a good noise ;-)

Use the factory airbox. It is the best for a factory engine.

That box is awesome! assume you must have access to precision cutting equipment-- which I don't:( What caused you to need to move the PS reservoir btw?

precision cutting equipment??
...ummmm a jig saw to cutout the shapes, a circular saw to cut the slots in the top (carbide tip blade and a bit of kero for lubricant), plus a hole saw for the power steering reservoir hole. A couple of bit of angle iron for a bending jig. The reason I moved it was it is an ugly piece of work and it looks better tucked away....
