Cool and nice,,

i like the idea ,, but DO NOT except very much,, gain as the M30 head is not well designed for flowing air.. in N/A ,, thats a fact ((as M20 and M70)) but you should get 250-260 horses with a cam + itb

the throttle responce should be good

i dont give a flying fuxx what others say about the airbox etc etc,, but i would for sure try to get an oem S38 or M88/3 airbox/accumulator,, ,, also if you get a oem box,, on S38B36 you must control the torque flap ,, on M88/3 there is not such thing

These engineers at BMW M-Gmbh are no fools,,

you could also do a good heat shield,, thats the most importand thing IMO.. if you are going ,,just running trumpets you will get a hell of a induction sound,, but will suffer a little gain i think when the air is hot inside
A. Graham Bell ((4stroke perfomance)) wrote that by incrasing the engine bay temp up buy 13°c your engine will loose 7 horses (i cant remember the average engine size)

so a good airflow to the intake-system is a key to success

Good luck with this ,,

to be OT i show you pics of my engine bay,,

AND IT WORKS,,,,,,,,,,
