A very well made piece of kit by dans6490

Here's the thread: http://www.z4-forum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=83675

As to what it does, well I don't think anyone is quite sure The idea is that it forces more air into the engine and therefore increases performance. (although Steve84N would disagree, check out his post on this thread: http://www.z4-forum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=85172&start=15)

No idea what a ram air scoop is.

But I do remember that Suzuki GTs had a ram air system - fell in love with them but never had one.

That was for engine cooling (cylinder head)
It never worked :roll:

Finally got round to fitting Dans wonderful air scoop.
Fitted it in about 40 minutes through the grill opening, it was very fiddly but piloting smalls holes into the plastic using a 'Twist gimlet' (a sort of a very sharp bradawl) helped.

I will buckle in tight when I go for a spin tomorrow - don't want all those extra horses overpowering me :driving:
