The M3 panels up front are 51717892122 for the transmission and 51717892953 for the extra plastic cover over the fuel filter which hooks into the former. You have to add the bracket to support the covers (see link below).

You'll find those and the rear ones under the v-brace here: http://realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?...84&hg=51&fg=80

The first two parts all fit Kalim? How many of those little bolts should I order? LOL.

A lot, haha. I have yet to get those panels so I'm not sure if all of the prestol cages/body nut inserts are even present. The M3 reinforcement plate at least has the prestol cages for some of the screws for the transmission cover.

It should fit with the non-M cover I hope.. lol I'll check when I jack up the car next time.

Sooo.. I took off my old intake boot assuming it was bad. It did not have any visible cracks or leaks. Since I already removed it, I opt to just replace it anyways since I replaced the upper boot in November.

Now I am suspicious where the CEL was from. It does not look like it is from intake boot itself. Perhaps the AFE Intake? The MAF was a bit loose in the velocity stack connection but I didn't make much of it being a problem. I did use the OEM seal ring/gasket from the stock intake but it was still loose.

For now, I decided as well to go back to a stock airbox. I noticed my intake boots weren't exactly aimed correctly to the MAF. Did I install the boots at a wrong angle? The lower boot seems fine since it has the tab to line up with the TB. I'm not sure why the upper boot is somewhat bending and causing some issues.

I don't remember if the intake boot was OEM or not. I'll have to dig up my receipts and check again.

edit: The intake boot was from AutoHaus, but it says it was an OEM boot.

Ill try again in the morning before work to undo everything again.. I also realized I no longer have that pad mount on tbe bottom of the stock intake anymore. I should figure a way to get the AFE to work correctly with the two intake boots.

Stett boots or similar, OEM boots & CAI means a hair too long with upper boot kinking a bit. Stett's or similar can be trimmed to fit as it should resulting in no kinks and smoother air flow.

FYI,

You can use an X3 3.0 intake boot. It's a 1 piece design rather than the E46 two piece design. You can trim the ends a bit as well should feel the need to.
