BMC advantage

[NKTOB]

Modding are for personal preferences......

Mr Samdol, i appreciate ur views as others will..however, pls note that we are not here to promote a specific product or brand...or get paid to do so!

all mods are done on personal references..

Hence, it's not fair to say our beloved forum is "misleading"...

we, like you are just sharing our experiences...

like bmwcar said, it's true..to get the full effect, one will need to upgrade the exhaust etc...

my 2 kupang..

MRsandol,

Emm... what a discussion

Based on my xperince of driving e46 for 4 years. Using a 18 inch "heavy" rims for the past 3 years and having BMC for about 1 mth... i think the filter has made some difference to my ride. It makes the car smootheer in xcelleration and FC. Why i am saying this, well... First of all when u tekan the pedal, i feel better pick up and xcelleration... Just can feel it..the difference pre and post BMC ( U know your car rite...like if there is anything wrong or bunyi somewhere... ) I am not looking for miracle in power wise as i am using only 2.0. If i am, might as well as get myself a M3/M5 .

Do remember that my BMC does not increased the engine sound as i have connected the air intake with the alluminium coil to the front of the car. So no increase in sound and air is sucked directly from outside to the CDA...

One more thing, i noticed that before BMC, my normal everage FC for my daily ride is about 10-11L/100km. Now its about 7-8L/100km ( daily ride is everage of 80 - 120km/h + traffic jam) Its either my meter has gone wrong or there is better FC... I don't have to stop by the petrol station much often now.

Anyway, being a doctor... everything is evidence based medicine. So for the torque, topspeed, horsepower etc questions... i cannot answer that, as i have no evidence to support eg: dyno etc...

Everything else is just based on my personal xperience

Cause its true?

MRsandol,

I feel the same ... but I still love my car...

Thanks to the ppl who have replied about the BMC and CAI in general. To the thread starter good luck in choosing the best air intake system for your car.

Burp!
