Gruppe-M (£550+P&P) - NO OFFERS

mmm-five · Post by **mmm-five** » Sat Jul 14, 2018 1:38 pm

£550+insured P&P (£30 for UK mainland) or including local collection/delivery (south Liverpool Fri to Sun; Brentford Mon-Thur)

It is exactly as it's just come off the car, has about 1000 miles on it since the filter element was last cleaned/dried/lightly oiled (clean & recharge kit included)

£550

-------------------

-------------------

Decided that the Gruppe-M is being drowned out by the exhaust, and if I want more noise (and a bit more power) I will have to go for a full carbon intake/plenum.

Have looked at a few, but a friend can get me a good deal on a Mk2 Geoff Steel box and can do the MAF-less tune for me (plus any other bits the Z4M version needs).

It will never be what you call 'cheap', but he won't rip me off.

So with that in mind, there seems no reason to keep the Gruppe-M.

That must be a loud exhaust to drown this out

My favourite mod I've done to mine GLWTS

I’d buy it except it won’t be any use to me when I eventually get my supercharger (so I’ve been telling myself for years)

Supercharger has always been my aim, but I can only insure it (at a sensible price) if I limit the mileage on it to below 5,000 miles, and take off commuting/business use. Which makes it a bit pointless. Plus it's about £8k all in.

The GSR carbon box 'can' be done for less than £2k and I've been told to expect about 20bhp/lbft once mapped (not a generic download either).

Thanks

I bought it through the group buy on here in November 2014.

It was on the car for about a year (probably 20,000 miles) until an accident meant the car was taken off the road from Dec-15 to about Sep-17 (didn't want to leave it on the car whilst it was at the bodyshop).

It was only put back on the car (after cleaning/oiling) before the Z4 National Meet last month (as we had building work done at home and had to move all my spares into the loft garage, behind lots of other stuff), and has done no more than 1,000 miles since then.

It comes with everything it was supplied with, but also with the mesh screen aka 'rectification honey cam/honeycomb' (which isn't supplied) from an original airbox (I had a spare airbox, so no need to remove it).

Ok thanks for the info .... can you inc postage for the £550 ?

Just weighing up £550+ postage for a 4.5 year old one or new eventuri for £660 delivered .

Sorry, I've only just put the advert up, so am happy to wait a while for my full asking price, as I know these don't come up often.

Although, to be fair, you should be weighing up £550+pp for a 4.5 year old Gruppe-M vs the £900 a new Gruppe-M?

I'm not saying the Gruppe-M is better as I've no experience of the eVenturi, but the Gruppe-M is the daddy of these types of intake - and the only 'upgrade' seems to be a full CSL-style box with Alpha-N at £2k+

2 weeks into ///M & " i will be keeping the car totally stock " is looking iffy

adding a Gruppe should be the first thing any M owner does imo

think S54 pulling hard in 2nd - 3rd & 4th , , you like it now

then imagine the noise intensified & multiplied

it turns a already angry engine into demented

Fair enough.... I’ll take it

It's interesting as everybody raves about them but listening to it on the internet I'm wondering if I'm missing something. Personally I wouldn't spend £600 for an induction kit. I'd rather spend the money on getting the crank bearings replaced.
