Question NEEd an intake for my 1995 M3!!

Hey, I was wondering if anyone could help me pick out the best intake system for my 1995 M3, since I'm on a tight budget, I can't really afford a full 3.5" HFM. Any recommendations, all I really want is more power.

TurnerMotorSports - JimC intake/ Chip / 3.5 HFM =$999 no tax in Mass.

I have the kit and really like it, but you eventually get used to whatever hp car you drive and if you are on a tight budget you might want to do some preventative maintenance first? waterpump....RSMs..etc

If you're on a budget check out the Cosmos Racing intake.

I've had mine for a while and I love it.

If your really on a budget like I was when I bought my car, go to http://www.weapon-r.com/intakes.html . Yeah, its a little ricey but I got the dragon intake w/ the ram air (which is just a laundry dryer exhaust, you can see where I installed it in the driver side brake duct) for about $132. I dynoed my car after the intake and it pulled 198.2. Assuming that a stock 95 M3 is good for about 193rwhp and my car has 113k miles thats a decent gain. If my camera worked I could post a picture of my dyno run but my girlfriend broke it (the camera).

P.S. I recently installed a 3.5" intake and conforti chip but havent had a chance to dyno yet, I'll post the dyno when I get it.

I say save up, and get the TMS JimC package: http://www.turnermotorsport.com/html...D=JCINTAKEEURO

This is the one that is recomended most by Dado. I currently have a BMP Intake and Supersprint exhaust that came in one package that is very nice. Only problem is, it doesn't have a heat shield. In any case, I am still saving up for the TMS JimC package. After I get that I'll have an extra BMP intake that I'll prolly throw on Ebay.
