BMW E30 cold air intakes 4cyl and 6cyl

Selling Carbon Fiber cold air intake kits for 4cyl & 6cyl BMW's, specifically designed for the E30.

This kit replaces the factory airbox and bolts directly to the MAF or AFM(for AFM cars an ebay MAF adapter is needed).
The reason it gets cooler air than stock is because it has a direct 3" path to outside air, while the stock box's snorkel was positioned off to the side behind a headlight where only a small portion of cool air makes it. This was done by BMW to keep filter's cleaner longer. With this kit you should clean the filter every time you change your oil.



Keeps intake temps 50+degrees cooler than an unshielded cone filter setup and more 15 degrees cooler than the OEM airbox setup. This kit will fit many different BMW engines due to the fact that it doesn't require a custom shield. Filter uses a 3" inlet and outlet which lets it fit all AFM's and MAF kits for the E30, similar kits on ebay only use 2.5"-2.7" inlets which will restrict performance, don't be fooled by cheap imitations, they use a lower quality filter and will not perform as well.

Kit works extremely well with E30s that use the MILLER MAF conversion and is a direct bolt on for MAF equipped cars.

Kit includes

1-REAL Carbon Fiber enclosed air filter w/ 3" inlet and outlet,
Can be easily adapted to fit the E36 but the hose routing is up to you.

life time washable gauze filter flows similar to K&N filter.The filter uses a pointed cone tip to help straighten turbulent air.

1-black intake hose which now slips over the end of the filter assembly.

1-black couplers

1-filter bracket

entire kit weighs ~2 lbs

EDIT:10/6/11
I will always be trying to improve this kit. I've had a few customers use the Velocity stack with great results.

Today I'm releasing the new Ver.4 kit it uses a rubber trimmed bracket to ensue the clearcoat on the C.F canister does not get damaged. All future kits sold on the forum will be the Ver.4 kit.
NEW Ver.4 Will be $118 shipped in the U.S

OVER 200+ kits sold to happy customers!

PM me to order[/B]

Happy customers-

"Just posting to let anyone on the fence about getting one of these know that they will not be disappointed. A perfect compliment to the miller maf conversion."

"Recieved mine from KA Motors. Let me tell you... I'm super happy. It's a very clean install and clean product. Looks FANTASTIC on just about any application. Very well worth it "

"intake is cool to the touch on my M42 with this thing installed, thanks for a quality product "

"Good seller, good product, great price, quick shipping. What else can you ask for?"

"I bought a KA Motors carbon intake for my E30 318iS and love it.

I removed the muffler thing on the end of it though and just have the pipe feeding into it without the 3 inch cover thing on the end, sounds a LOT better this way!"

I considered picking one of these up back in January, but I'm not sure what the benefits are other than 15 degrees cooler temps over the OEM setup.  Are there any notable HP/TQ gains?  Has anyone done a before/after dyno?

Other benefits besides cold air are a real throaty sound, power and mpg. Those are all because you get a less restrictive intake and cooler air into the motor.

Just got mine in the mail today. Awesome guy to deal with and a quality product for sure. Someone should post pics of their m42 setup since I can't seem to find any online or on the forums.

I know I've sold at least 20-25 of these to M42 owners but none of them ever send me pictures!

Can anyone tell me what the german TÜV think about this CAI?
I would like to put one in my 318is but i don't know if it is legal here.

Also do you use the adapter or do you have a MAF conversionand is there any affordable MAF conversion now?
