> Rob Hatrak Rob, Sorry to see this was a miserable experience for you. I don't know the layout of the Euro Airbox / Snorkel / Heat Shield as it comes from BMW, but I put together a straight K&N Cone filter setup (no airbox), and a homemade cold air duct that does the same thing as the snorkel (same access points), together with a heat shield I made from sheet metal (A/C Ducting). I was able to install and engineer all of it in about 90 minutes for a total cost of $ 80.00 or so. Works like a charm and my butt duno tells me I am seeing some gains from it. Don't give up! Just re-engineer a bit! My system does not look factory, more like N.H.R.A., but I just cover the tacky sheet metal with a couple of racing stickers and it is fully functional without having to relocate the charcoal cannister ( just have to move one of the two horns in the fenderwell). IMHO, the E36 M3 is very cold air sensitive and the gains for this are well worth the effort.
