Karbonius CF reproduction of standard S54 plenum

Waiting for a few more confirmations that the price is acceptable but we essentially have 12 EOI, so we’re not that far off. I just posted on NAM3forum. Who knows if they’ll be interested given it’s feasible for E46 owners to go for the full CSL experience.

Are you sure a z4m s54 plenum is going to fit an e46 m3? They are fairly different.

You had me worried for a second there!

RealOEM says they’re the same:

Indeed they are! I don't know why, but when I took my plenum off the z4 I was convinced it was different to the one I took off my m3. Obviously getting a bit senile.
As you were!
On that note I have the plenum just taking up space so if needed for this experiment let me know.

I think this is quite reasonable, but have no idea what others' expectations are.

Matt.13 and Z4MCoupe86 - are you still interested at the above price?
Still interested depending on noise improvement over stock

Assuming the sounds of the test / prototype model is pleasing then I'd be interested. 1200 is just over a 1/3rd of the price of the Eventuri system and remap so sounds like a bargain.

I think the 20 interested people list still lacks 7 bodies.

Yes, we're still 7 EOI short. Zero interest from NAM3 forum, which surprises me a bit.

I've been meaning to add some posts elsewhere (m3cutters, bimmerfest and maybe pistonheads) but haven't gotten around to it yet. I'll put it on my to-do list for today.

Bimmerfest and Pistonheads threads are now live (waiting for activation of my M3Cutters account). Hopefully we get some more interest.

Thanks :)

Hopefully I'll get poster privileges soon and I can add to that thread.

**edit: I originally posted that the price was missing, checked the cutters thread again and saw the price was there, so edited this post to remove my point about the price… but I think you edited the cutters post after I posted here. Summary - I’m not the sharpest pencil in the box on Monday morning.

We’re up to 16 EOI now, so not that far away.
