The 318is is 140bhp standard. Thats a 30bhp jump to 170bhp from just a cone filter. Must have a turbo fan aswell paired with a ebay chip to see those gains.

What is he hoping for If anything he'd lose power. The induction system on BMW's doesn't take kindly to being altered.

Aye - I remember Dave A saying that the BHP on either a 330ci or M3 dropped with changed induction.

30bhp of noise more like.

TBH the intake and exhaust on BMW's really is good as standard. You do get gains from proper induction kits and exhausts still.

Dave A never commented on exactly what kit was fitted or provided pictures of the fitment so thats inconclusive!

He knows more than me about tuning and mechanics, that's conclusive enough for me

Don't you just love "plucked out of the air" bhp figures

I would always want proof of claimed power output.

max power stickers are known to give 50bhp if you put them in the right place.

something to do with aerodynamics.
