CSL air box, Wow

Post by Stu Boy » Fri Feb 20, 2015 11:15 pm

Had a quick chat with a guy driving a M3 CSL the other day, he pulled the bonnet and showed me the intake/airbox :o Stunning, not seen one before :thumbsup:

Ha, yeah I had a CSL for a few years, definitely, completely changes the driving experience of an M3. The noise is addictive, it's hilarious when people hear it coming down the road, they stop and stare...induction noise is soooo much better than exhaust noise.

It is a thing of beauty!!
My little blue zed is in lots of bits. With lots of things started and not many finished! I may have found the limits of my time and ability!!

As mental as the cls box is (considering it was from factory), an s54 with trumpets is a whole different ball game!

That's not the same one though by the looks of it...same finish but a different sized intake opening? The one on the CSL has a massive circular opening? Unless it's just the angles the pics have been taken from

Its pretty large, maybe 20cm in diameter. The flap motor is the thing that goes wrong with them, gets stuck open or shut....I've still got 2 spare flaps in the cupboard if anyone needs them! :D
