Can't wait to get my hands dirty in a couple of week's time and join the ranks of haters of working in the CCV area.

FYI - Bavarian auto has diy video for doing the ccv on an M54.

Installed long tube CAI.

Sounds freaking awesome in second gear 3.5k rpms+

Car pulls a bit harder in second too. Not a huge gain, but it is noticeable.

Long tubes will work with Halogen and ALs ONLY. ZKWs interfere with the tube. I have one on the 328 and it sounds amazing. I'm pissed the ZHP has ZKWs for this reason and the fact that they are burnt to a crisp...

OEM BOSCH xenons. Had to unmount the ballast and throw some double sided tape on it. Mounted it to the fender area.

Its a cosmos racing CAI. Basically a Dinan long tube replica.

Definitely interested in a review.

I almost bought one but didn't because I didn't want to relocate the ballast

It was two small phillips screws to unmount it. It's really no big deal, just get the E46 M3 relocation ballast thing. I'd share the part number, but I don't know it myself :/

You might need an adaptor for the 330 because of the larger MAF, but I'm not sure. Check with Cosmos.

My review is a solid 9/10.
For price it's a 10/10. Other intakes are much more expensive and I hear only lung tubes make serious difference for these cars. Other intakes work too, but long tubes are the most effective.
Quality it's a 8/10. Gotta relocate the ballast, and it has this weird foam tape that goes around my MAF to get a snug fit with the intake tube.
Performance/sound. Gets a 10/10. Sounds sick when I floor it, otherwise it's a weenie bit louder than stock. Car seems to pull a weenie bit harder in second and third too. Even my passenger felt the car was pulling a bit harder.

Would I recommend it? Yes. I didn't want to mess with my headlight either. But it is honestly no big deal.

Pics coming now

Pics of said intake

Ballast is awaiting for my lazy ass to get the OEM M3 ballast relocation kit..
