ZKW's and Dinan Cold Intake AAWWW!!

[BMW Roundel]

how the fck do i fit my ZKW's in wiht my Dinan Cold air intake!!!... im pissed lol seriously thoguh i am

[SG_M3]

They fit easily. Don't use the dinan mounting plate, and push the intake down farther. If that won't clear it, then it should be making contact on a round plastic thing down and to the right of the connector. Just shave on that plastic part to get it to fit, its the euro power height adjuster, but we don't use them.

They will fit, I used to have the same setup. Mine fit just by pushing the intake down.

^^^ likewise.

I take it the ZKW's would be interfering with my Dinan S/C pipe just like the Ellipsoids do right?

[SG_M3]

but they can fit. You will need to hack up the back plastic on the zkw's to get them to fit, but you can.

oh they fit but its super tight... me and my friend did his and you have to move one of the horns i bent the horn bracket that i moved lower the intake cone further down and you just have to just but both in at the same time and fine the right angle to put both in... its a puzzle but they deffinatly fit..

anyone wanna post any pics of it!!! I'd liek to see this magic fit and where you wear down the lights so they do fit, and what else.

[SG_M3]

Thats what you are going to need to shave down it they don't fit the first time.

What girl is holding Sean's headlight???

[umnitza]

That's Jim Powell's "for hire" hand model that "posed" for the install pics

Great helpful pics but I was right, these will not fit if one were to have a supercharger. The s/c pipe from the air filter will obstruct the headlight assembly directly behind the low beam housing. In the picture you show the Dinan cold air intake which is sistuated more so befind the high beam housing. The s/c pipe is at least a 3 1/4" dia. tubing which goes dowm right behind the low beam housing unfortunately. The Euro ellipsoids are the same thing. Too bad I really like these ZKW's. My friend had them with the 8000 HID's and man are they bright. I'll need better lighting once I remove my fogs- any suggestions? Umnitza?

[umnitza]

we've installed them on 3 cars with S/C.

Not sure what you mean they don't fit.

Do you have a Vortec? Rotrex? what?

Along with the leveling pin (which is what's circled above) you also have to dremel off the back dust cover on the high beam side, but it fits, and fits well.
