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

Awesome - thanks, I hadn't seen that thread! Much more discussion than in the GB thread I started.

Getting close - good work guys

We now have 19. If you were on the fence because you didn’t think there would be enough interest, now is your chance to tip us over the top.

Incase anyone is on the fence a good friend on mine has just got a carbon plenum for his e90 m3 from Karbonius and it is a really beautifully made bit of kit both of us was quite shocked how good the finish was .

We have reached 20 EOI! I will contact Karbonius to work out next steps.

For reference, the EOI list is here:

Karbonius has confirmed they will make a test plenum to check the viability of the project. There is no timeline yet as they need to see if any of the parts from their CSL intake can be carried across. I’ll post an update when I have more information.

Thanks for arranging this with Karbonius, please add me to your list. Have Karbonius given an idea on weave/finish? My preference is a 2x2 twill weave & matt but not a deal breaker!

I have been considering a CSL box for a few years now but everything I have read just makes it clear that the MAF is the optimum solution and Alpha N tuning while yielding an amazingly addictive noise with the CSL box, it is a bit of a bodge with cruise control, drivability (at times) & consistency being lost.

I’m not sure about the weave pattern. 2x2 is what is used on the CSL airbox isn’t it? I’ll see if I can find out.

I’ve added you to the list.

Karbonius has provided an update, saying that they hope to start the project in May. I specifically asked about the weave but they didn't address that in their response.

Another quick update: Karbonius has started the design and hopes to provide some details soon.

Thanks for update

Bit late for me as mines having CF air box and Alpha N next Friday.

Jon - how did this go, I'm tempted to do likewise - who did you go with, and who fitted?

cheers
