E34 headlight retrofit into my E12 + Cold Air Intake !

[future rs]

Except now you have a hot air intake. That filter will get heat-soaked quickly, even if its in the front high beam. Can't beat bmw stock intake, period. Yeah you look and sound cool, but functionality is compromised. And no I'm not some purist, but I know when to not change a good thing. You may even see a loss in power

Not disagreeing. But what is your reasoning?

Forgot to add, I love the retrofit of ellips. They look clean

Don't like the look of the filter there, but the headlights look good. Maybe if you used one of those intake ducts that fill up the headlight housing and stuck your filter behind it

not a bad idea, thanks

I got some used E34 ellipsoids for my E12! Finally got around to retrofitting them. Not sure if anyone's done this but I figured I'd give it a shot. I also fitted my intake in to the passenger side highbeam location. Just wanna see what everone thinks! bodywork is soon to come!
