http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BMW-E...#ht_4709wt_847 ?????? haha is that one good? i can find them but i dont know which ones are good or whatever... i know the more expensive the better probably but which ones are just as good as the expensive ones while being inexpensive? u understand?

Seems to be all about the same. Might want to check out some that are a little under $200. Those seem to be the ones most people go with.

hahahaha hmmm well if i can save money i want to cuz i dont have alot ill ask around thanks for the help

I think a full replacement intake is worth it for better flow and performance but we also offer aFe Panel filter replacements in oiled or dry. These are definitely worth it if it is time to replace the factory filter.

Is there any proven differences in performance between the afe drop in and the stock filter?

its your air filter (panel shaped).

the panel filters are really going to filter out as much particles as the stock ones. I really don't see a point in getting one unless you want to spend extra money since you would never have to get a new one since their "lifetime" filters.

mk lol im guna try to get headers and cai

Good choice with getting headers you won't regret it. But get the O2 simulators so you don't get the CEL.

Ok. Well a CEL (check engine light) Since stock exhaust manifold have built in cats (catalytic converters), your going to get a code concerning the cats which creates a bottle neck effect that reduces flow. Now the headers your going to buy don't have built in cats so your car is going to throw a code that basically says the cats are broken. So what the O2 simulator does is trick the computer into thinking that the cats are still there even though there not. Getting rid of the CEL. If your any bit mechanically inclined install the headers your self. Cuz your going to play triple the amount of the headers to get them installed then you actaully paid for them and there a great DIY guide on here that a basic walk through of what you need. PM me if you have any questions.
