Best Chip and Intake for 95' e36

BeamerBoy · #1 (**permalink**) 06-30-2003, 03:25 PM

Anyone have some suggestions on a good chip and intake for my 95 325i. There are so many different companies and brands I want to get the most speed and a good deal.

Thanks, Chris.

Dinan makes a decent product, and you may also want to consider the fact that it is a BMW-approved company that is sold and installed through a bunch of BMW dealers.
AC Schnitzer (I think i spelled it right) and Racing Dynamics also make good stuff its all a personal preference

I would steer clear of all those and guys and go with AA. Jim C is the 2nd best.

I would take a look at Active Autowerk's chips and Jim Conforti chips. Intake wise, i'd say either AA or ECIS. I myself have a $30 dollar k&n intake, works fine. I am also currently in the process of designing/forming a heat shield. Good luck.

If you have a 95 m3, why not just save up and get a HFM kit.

edit: didn't see you drove a 325. nevermind.

on the HFM kit.... Are the gains compared to a regular CAI noticible???

And can the HFM kit from AA fit a regular e36?

yes and yes.

But putting a euro hfm on 325is is waste of money for ZERO increase.
