Bespoke. A word that perfectly encapsulates the mindset of Eventuri. Performance parts with obsessive attention to detail and an unyielding dedication to quality. Perfectly designed to maximize the potential of each individual vehicle and meticulously refined through rigorous testing. Eventuri offers a product that stands in a class of its own and delivers outstanding power increases without making false claims or exaggerating dyno numbers. With patented designs such as a custom velocity stack filter housing and improved ducting that guides the flow of air into the engine, to the breathtaking uniformity of the weave pattern. These are performance products for the truly discerning customer. When it comes to styling a vehicle the proper look is one that complements, not cheapens the inherent design. Race-inspired carbon fiber completes the look and style of every BMW M-powered model and Eventuri delivers on an entirely new level. Performance increase = 10-15hp, 8-12ft-lb The E46 M3 intake system is a result of extensive data logging, dyno testing, and design optimization. The aim was to develop an intake system for the S54 engine which worked with the stock ECU map and MAF sensor and produced a genuine improvement in the driving experience. The E46 M3 Eventuri system uses a Patent Pending Carbon fiber Housing which provides an aerodynamically efficient airflow path from the filter to the MAF tube. Not just another cone filter with a heat shield but a unique design that invokes the Venturi affect. Made from 100% prepreg carbon fiber of the highest quality, the workmanship on the housing is second to none. This encapsulates the filter and is mated to an anodized aluminum inlet cowl to ensure a smooth inlet flow path. The filter itself is a deep pleated, high flow double-cone configuration that is dry to avoid damaging the MAF sensor. Finally, the assembly is then mated to an aluminum heat shield which effectively shrouds the intake from engine bay heat and captures the ambient air being diverted from the scoop. Also, notice the rubber spacer on the mount of the heat shield - this is for the headlight module to sit on so that it remains at the right height - small details are important! 100% Prepreg carbon fibre with a CNC machined collar - the air scoop forces ambient air directly into the filter opening. This scoop simply clicks into place in the front right-hand brake duct and effectively saturates the mouth of the intake with cold air. It has been designed to take up half the height of the duct in order to allow airflow to still continue through the duct for the brakes. The scoop is so effective that even after a hard drive, the aluminum cowl at the mouth of the intake will still feel cold to touch! Each kit consists of: 100% Prepreg Carbon Fibre Intake Housing Anodised Aluminium inlet cowling High Flow Filter CNC Machined MAF tube 100% Prepreg Carbon Fibre Air Scoop with CNC machined aluminum collar 3 Aluminum heat shields with neoprene lining High-quality Silicon coupler with BMW specification hose clamps This kit fits the following BMWs: ​2001 - 2006 E46 M3

This K&N performance cold air intake kit eliminates the restrictive air box in favor of a high flowing intake system that allows for greater power all throughout the power band. Every K&N intake features a premium air filter that is constructed from cotton gauze material between aluminum mesh - this makes for a long lasting, high performance intake filter. These are very easy to remove and maintain. Turner Motorsport recommends this as one of the first maintenance/modifications you make to your vehicle after you purchase!

K&N's air filters allow increased airflow - dirt and particles stick to the oil on these filters, making them more effective than traditional paper filters in terms of protection. Additionally, K&N believes their filters are more efficient than paper filers - this means more oxygen getting into the engine, allowing vaporized fuel to burn more efficiently and increasing horsepower and fuel economy. The best of both worlds!

  • Washable and reusable

Built for performance and show, the Typhoon Air Intake System is a free-flowing mandrel-bent aluminum tube induction system designed to fit many sport compact performance vehicles. Each kit is proven on a rear-wheel dynamometer to increase horsepower and torque. Typhoon intakes come in one of three designs; cold air intakes (CA), short ram intakes (SR), or complete cold air (CCA) intakes which can be configured as either a cold air intake or a short ram intake. Available in an assortment of powder coated colors and polished aluminum, these kits are sure to please in every way. They come with an oversized High-Flow conical air filter designed to provide increased surface area and dust capacity. This extra surface area provides even more airflow at lower restriction than a standard K&N O/E replacement filter that is limited to the size of the factory air box. The oversize air filter also captures more dirt increasing the service life before a cleaning is required (up to 100,000 miles).

ECS High-Flow Intake for E46 – Unleash Performance and Induction Sound

Transform your E46 driving experience with the ECS High-Flow Intake, engineered for improved airflow, exhilarating induction noise, and a noticeable performance boost. Designed as a direct replacement for your restrictive factory intake, this system lets your engine breathe freely while delivering the aggressive intake sound every enthusiast craves.

Why Upgrade?
The factory intake system prioritizes refinement over performance, limiting airflow and muffling the intake noise for a subdued driving experience. The ECS intake changes the game by significantly increasing air intake efficiency and enhancing the auditory excitement under your hood. It’s a must-have for those seeking the perfect balance of power and sound.

Featured in Action:
Catch this intake in action on the ECS YouTube channel's "Chasing Down Track Times at Pitt Race!" episode, see and hear the difference for yourself.

Key Benefits:

Increased Airflow: Boosts intake efficiency by approximately 27%, flowing an average of 71 CFM more than the stock system.
Enhanced Induction Noise: Enjoy the raw, satisfying sound of air rushing into your engine.
Factory Compatibility: Maintains the stock air induction track and MAF location, allowing a seamless switch back to the factory airbox if needed.
Premium Design Features:

Constructed from durable, lightweight 6061 and 5052 aluminum with a wrinkle-black powder coat finish.
Includes a 7” oiled cotton gauze ECS filter for optimal filtration and airflow.
Silicone intake boot with improved flow replaces the failure-prone factory accordion boot, featuring provisions for F-connector and Idle Air Control (IAC) valve.
Stainless steel M6 hardware and aluminum brackets ensure a secure and reliable installation.

Free-flowing intake featuring a roaring induction noise and increased performance to replace your restrictive factory intake.

Upgrade your E46 driving experience by adding induction noise and increased air flow. Let your engine breath and listen to the sweet sweet intake sounds!

With the factory intake you are limited to a finite amount of air, this leaves your engine under-served and limits induction noise. When it comes to the recipe for upgrading your E46 there are a few ingredients that you must have, power and sound. While you can add an exhaust for a bit more power and sound, the biggest difference you can make is adding power and sound under your hood with a high-flow intake. The factory intake box is also referred to as a silencer specifically designed to lower the induction noise for a refined driving experience, this helped exponentially when selling the cars out of the show room circa early 2000's. We as enthusiasts are no longer interested in subdued intake noise and limited air-flow, we want pure induction noise, we want to hear the air being sucked into the engine as we push down on the accelerator.

Key benefits:

Flows on average 71 CFM more than the stock intake system, a ~27% increase in intake efficiency
Increased induction noise
Maintains factory air induction track
Maintains Stock MAF location, allowing user to switch back to the stock airbox and retain the ECS Silicone boot if desired
Design:

Durable, lightweight 6061 and 5052 aluminum intake tube and bracket design, finished in wrinkle black powder coat
Mounts to locations on chassis utilizing Stainless Steel M6 hardware
MAF mounts to intake using aluminum brackets sealed to intake system with OEM fitment
Maximizes available engine bay space to fit oiled ECS cotton gauze 7” filter
Silicone intake boot with improved flow characteristics replaces failure-prone facotry accordion intake boot with provisions for F-connector fitting and Idle Air Control (IAC) valve inlet
