Z4M GruppeM air box

[PDJ]

The GruppeM inlet is now for sale as a straight sale please see second page thanks.






I would like to return my air inlet to standard, does anyone have a standard set up that they no longer require or would like to have a GruppeM and swop with the set up on my car and a cash adjustment.

This is for the S54 engine in the Z4M

I will go and price up the bits I think I will need from the main dealers next week.So have an Idea of costs etc.

 

[james28]

What's the price difference please
Very interested

 

[PDJ]

Sent you a reply

And so every one is aware I think this is fair

I am in Manchester in the week and some weekends and Cleethorpes the rest of the time

I am happy to swop the bits over at my house but not very keen on posting bits as I or you could end up with a car that is off the road due to a missing bit we did not get right in the swops and postage part of the deal.

 

[PDJ]

From a little bit of searching the GruppeM set up sell for around £600 I have no Idea what a standard air box costs yet.

If anyone that is interested beats me to a price for the standard air box the maths are easy enough.

 

[PDJ]

Does't look like I can attach in a PM so here are some pictures of the intake

 

[james28]

Looks great let's see if we can work out a price and deal and a meet up and swap over if things can be mutually agreed.

I have the standard airbox if you don't want to swap, £50 + postage ?

2nd dibs please, PDJ - if the deal with james28 falls down, for any reason..

Cheers

That may well be a good way forward then I can get my car sorted and then sell the GruppeM on as a kit.

Will let you know in a few days when checked the price (but can't believe the dealers will be £49 or less)

Do you know what else I may need in addition to the box?

Its all yours if the op can get a standard box instead of a swap and small cash adjustment

 

[mr wilks]

thought id seen it all but clearly not :?

 

[PDJ]

Let me see what I need to return to standard and cost

Also the easiest way with the least hassle for me (I know a little Me Me) but I don't want to end up with my car in bits

Will look up on real oem tomorrow and get prices in the week and update the thread is that ok with everyone

 

[mr wilks]

Interested to know if you have you ever driven your car on stock airbox ?

 

[AaronMc]

Can I be on the list for the GruppeM if you don't swap it and sell it on separately

 

[PDJ]

Interested to know if you have you ever driven your car on stock airbox ?

No but If I get a second hand one I can try it and report back

No problem, it's not going anywhere. In perfect condition taken off the car 4 years ago or so. I have all of the parts including the actual plenum itself but I'm pretty sure I know the parts you'll need to return to stock, it's a very simple job.

 

[PDJ]

I will PM you for details for payment and postage

 

[PDJ]

I now have returned the air intake to standard.

So the GruppeM set up as removed from my car is available.

I will try and get some advice from a Mod to see if it is best to start a new thread or have this one moved to a for sale.

 

[Bing]

Just out of interest, why did you want to go back to standard ?

 

[PDJ]

The reply

I think we need to keep this thread going, if its moved changed or deleted it will probably cause more problems than it solves.
Just add to the thread what the current situation is and try to be fair to all parties.

A few have asked why the answer is it Increases the sound this is a personal taste it was a little bit too noisy for me all of the time, and insurance wise it was a mod and an in your face one if you open the bonnet so my choice was to return to standard and this has now been achieved thanks to Tom. There is probably a performance gain but I may have grown out of that having owned a road legal race race speed up Westfield, maybe it is my age....

So My GruppeM air inlet is now for sale As a price is required I will put £600 or near offer. As that is what I said originally at the start of the thread.

If James28 can confirm he has passed on this due to me getting a second hand air box as apposed to a swop.

So Woolybear appears to be second inline can he confirm he interest

And AaronMc appears to be third inline can he confirm he interest

To be fair to the above I will wait a few days for those to get in touch before selling to anyone else.



Here are all the pictures I have of it both on and off the car. (some here and some at the beginning of the thread as 10 is the max) You will get what you see in the picture of the unit off the car I don't think you will need anything other than a few tools and a tywrap or two to fit it. There is a slight rub mark in the rubber around the carbon scoop where the pipe has rubbed a little as seen in the picture.
