E36 style Cold Air Intake behind front bumper?

[MR E30 325is]

I cut a hole in the sheet metal in the engine bay near where the cruise control unit was on my last E30 to route some piping.

Then again, the car had a supercharged S52 in the engine bay, and I had to have the MAF mounted a certain distance from the supercharger inlet in order for the tune to work.

In your case, keep the stock airbox.

I know this one is for an M20, but might look in to how this one is routed for ideas

A CAI is not really needed on an E30. The stock air box is about as good as it gets.

No one's done it. But you can be the first.

On the E36 there is a space where you can route a CAI into the area behind the front bumper in the front wheel well area. I happen to have a Dinan intake from an M42 and it would do the trick if I cut a hole for it (Car has an M50 swap). Only thing it would require other than cutting a hole would be maybe relocating the horn and possible removing ABS mounts and getting thinner ones to push it closer to fender. Anybody ever done this? Tried searching but no luck. Not trying to route to behind the headlight, I'm talking about under that.
