I Love the factory Airbox!!!!

[rs4pro3]

Well on my 88 325is it had a crappy Autozone cold air filter on it but i had no shield well ronight I decided to stick on a factory airbox. So I pulled out the nasty Round filter and stuck back in a factory airbox which was a bitch and a half. But it was well worth it. Now that It sucks could air from behind the headlights, the engine is making so much more power. I took a quick juant down to the local grocery store and at the first stop Sign when I floored it and shifted into second at 6000 rpm's I got the whole rear end loose. Ussualy at that stop sign I can just get the tires to chirp. Then when Pulling out of the Grocery store I got the Rear end crazy loose as I went down the road fishtailing. So much fun!!! Every one had talked aobut how the e30's where tail happy but I could never get mine to hang it's ass out unless I realy pushed it. So it's now the factory airbox for me untill I can afford a proper K & N filter with a heatshield.

Yeah, I've gotten my rear end out often with my 1987 325. Now that I have the chip, it'll happen for often. I've had my fair share of fun on wet roads. All my friends have front wheel drive cars - I love given them crap for it too! :D

I've been keeping my airbox. I'm thinking I'll just clean out the filter when I get a chance. Does it really sound a lot better with an open filter rather than the airbox?

i had a similar experience when i went back to the airbox in the old car....probly a combination of sucking in too much hot air and the fact that the filter hadnt been cleaned for a while....but that airbox felt pretty damn good!

on a similar note, weve had our first taste of summer, 33C yetserday and 36C today...you can really feel the heat saturation in the engine bay.....it feels like a totally different car...during the day its sluggush as hell, but take it up into the hills at night and its sprtitely again....damn this hot arse country!
