Thanks for showing me the way. Just
did mine today.
Thanks for showing this . I always thought the other kind with the filters open was jenky. Especially if caught in down pour . Your newest method is far superior .
Huge fan of you dude!! Keep up the great content!!
Great clear video as always! I’d didn’t see the point of replacing the cowl until you showed the before and after pics. It seems that bmw could have just used that M3 type cowl in the beginning on all models, allowing easier access to plugs etc.
4XM3 filters are a lot more expensive than one E9x filter.
@@maxnix346 Agree this mod is nice but too much...this conversion is almost $400 not worth it
@@dflex4180 ouch-ouch! I'll put that n]money into (legal, of course) speeeeed. Great vid, shows it clealy, and it's nice, but. The cowl filters, or vent filters, really, look like a good idea next time my orig style filter that I JUST replaced needs changing.
I just cut mine and it looks just as clean and saved a few $$$
I’m planning on doing that based off the BudgetBimmers vid, is that what you did?
Looks great! I have the same car and i had no idea that this conversion might be possible! 😃👍 next DIY is how to swap your N54 with an S65 to complete your M3 engine bay look 😂👍
Wow! That looks so much better. Functional too! Solid diy.
With Mikey! Thanks man! It’s always the small things that make it much better 👍🏻
@@BMWFanatic Everyone has that one mod (or 6) that they see and go, damn, I want that!
Anyone can hack up a stock part and bolt it back on. Takes a real craftsman to go to work to make the money to buy and install a part designed and built for the chassis. That’s called “doing right by the car”. Great video and job. Looks much better than a “budget build”. I’ll be doing this to my ‘11e93 “is” soon. I’ve got 2 M3’s and a 335is in the stable so yes, my philosophy is rather expensive. But hey, you only live once! FYI $777 shipped to my door with 4 filters & gasket. Anyone want my old stuff to hack up and put on their car?
Why are u so damn perfect if I was a millionaire I'd fly you over to service my bmws 👌, it's actually a Nice weight reduction too, I have done something that you haven't I have modified my front bumper and grill to allow airflow to make contact at all lines of the intercooler and slightly bend down the front bumper so it's quite a significant different in airflow to the intercooler, for example the Oem one receives no airflow to the bottom 3 rows and the addition of the mesh breaking up the air it's dropped my Oem intercooler by 5degc average on a pull as those plastic fins are quite thick with an aftermarket cooler damage would be minimal and I think it could be a great mod to explore IMO
That sounds like a great idea!!
I will do it definitely in the future! I hate removing cowl all the time like you do but I will find parts from parts car so it will be cheaper. Thanks for the video though, I didn't know M3 had different cowl!
Burger Motorsports has cowl filters that mount right to the fresh air intake ports for $59 deleting the factory cowls. Maybe a more modest option with similar effect.
Deleting the cowls lets water get in. The lip of the cowl goes up to the hood acting like a water barrier. Go to a car wash then open ur hood, there will be water in on the cowl but not the engine
Drive by a construction site you’ll taste it
That’s a good looking m3 cow
$700 in parts?!? Love your videos man but how is that cost effective just to be able to get the engine cover off more easily? Looks nice though!
Melche’s Garage That’s brand new man, which some people like to go that route. I have a few friends that picked it up used for much less 😀
150-300 bucks bought elsewhere or used
@@typedrew Hey! E90 post gang hahaha
Almost 700$ in parts? What’s wrong with cowl delete? With BMS cabin filters installed?? Way cheaper and same upgrade. Only thing is you may want to leave the bottom part of the cowl in and cut out the section that the M3 leaves out. Then re-install weather stripping so you can still cover the DME and brake reservoir. This upgrade is way way too expensive for the benefit. I love your diy’s because they are done CORRECTLY, but this one is just too much money for the little upgrade. Still loved the DIY though.
Its nice to have that accessible but I agree on being expensive, that's crazy, it take 15 min max to get the oem cowl out. 3 or 4 times a year max. That's like new front and rear bumpers, or coilovers
Never even knew those filters were up there close to the windshield..
Only had my car since last summer.
2011 M3
Looks good bro. Sweet looking ride you got. Keep it up
Lol coming from someone who doesn't drive an m all non m cars are just base cars for me not in my case
For the 8mm bolts is it a certain tread pattern because my 335 currently doesn’t have them and I don’t know which bolts to buy
Very nice DIY Lee. But also a lot of money...
Thanks for the video
Looks clean
I like that look better maybe i can find one used since modding mine has broke me(no complaints love my car)
Good wrenching 🔧👍man.
BMS cabin filters. 10-15 F difference in operating Temp. Cheap and removes that plastic completely. Also some nice engine turbo noises. Best mode I did on the car.
That's how they should have come to begin with regardless of trim level. Been thinking about those BMS filters and wasn't sure is the wires would move back far enough. Thanks for posting. I imagine this would work on a 328i?
Hey watching in England just wanted to say loving the videos and contents!!! Any idea of where to buy parts for this mod in Europe??
I've recently bought an Alpina B3 Bi-Turbo which is based around the 335i!!!! These videos your producing are amazing and helpful!!! Thank you!
Looks good!
Let me know if you ever want to sell that conversion kit!!
I was looking into getting the xhp flashtool and wanted advice I didn't see that you have made a video on it yet
Did you have a bonnet/ hood open warning when driving? I did as the profile of the underside of the M3 bonnet/ hood is different and the micro switch may not indicate that the bonnet/ hood is closed. I got around this issue by using a zip tie on the micro switch to hold the pin down, as if the bonnet/ hood is open l cannot see where I’m going due to the extremely large piece of metal obscuring my view, so no need for the warning light on the instrument panel haha. We call the hood a bonnet on this side of the pond, JIC no one has worked it out. 🏴
Joe Powell No error message now, but I have the button electrical taped down so no message comes up, but yeah it didn’t reach to the hood.
Can this also be done on a 2008 E92 335i? Do I need a E92 M3 specific cowl? Or can I also use a E90 M3 cowl?
Hey there Lee!! Quick question: is there an option for this type of cowl on an E92 N55 335i? Thanks!!
What you did with the hood sensor?
coulda swore i read a diy on e90post where the parts only costed about $250
Hello, does the water pass between the junction of the two pieces of the cowl? because on mine I have a drop right there, so how are the original m3s doing?
what made you get rid of the bms cowls you ran a while ago?
THIS
Heavy downpour with those bms open cowl filters no bueno.thats y
@@wpg1977 that never a problem. I live in Florida. Rains at least 2 times a week heavy
He won’t respond to that question. I’ve been wondering why he doesn’t ....
Because it’s to loud. All you hear is air being sucked into the intake filters. It does help the engine cool and if you like working under the hood it’s nice to have all that crap out the way. But on my car all I could hear is air getting sucked into the intakes. No more turbo spool whine and no stock exhaust rumble.
Perfect fit! Should have been like that from the factory. Looks awesome. One question...will this cowl fit on a 335i with the stock airbox?
Same thing crossed my mind
...
did u take the weather stripping off the edge of the engine bay before putting on the cowl ? doesn't look like u did but just making sure
Can you access the Oil Catch Can more easily now or do you have to remove the M3 cowl to empty it?
Why did you choose the m3 cowl instead of the burger motorsports cowl deletes?
Robert Dominguez he had those a while back.Maybe, he wants a cleaner look
Robert Dominguez I’ve been meaning to do this mod for the last few years...but I’m all about the clean look 👍🏻
I had the BMS filters before and they worked great
So you can have a clean engine bay that lets you work on it without having the remove the cowl without any extra noise
Is this parts list correct? some of the FCP parts dont have pictures. It looks like the actual cowl might be missing in the parts list.
When are you doing the backup camera DIY?
What is the guage of wire required to extend the sensor? Bought the parts from FCP Euro. Waiting for delivery.
So you ditched the burger motorsport cowl filters?
Yes, because I wanted a M3 cowl setup
is this the original oem m3 cabin ait filter trim?
Yep
Moo.
Nice! I trimmed my stock but I really like the clean look of the m3. One thing I love is the turbo noise. Do you still get the turbo spool noise with this m3 cowl? Ty
Tf are you talking about it’s a cabin filter
@@silverarrowgaming1077 yeah. The Cabin filter effects how loud your turbos are. From inside the cabin….
Link to the parts ? Do they also fit 135i ?
Loek Felten within my video description above 👍🏻
Did you find an E82 M3 style cowl? I need one too.
If i just buy a m3 cowl from a part out would it fit?
700$ WTF REALLY?!?!?! for all the parts. No thank you 🙏
You ain't know? BMW parts are stupidly expensive. My wallet knows. Doesnt matter what year the car is.
Urghhh. Ils expensive
Just not that much gain in convenience and perhaps less filtering capacity. And I do use mt HVAC sensor to activate recirculation.
Do they also fit e93 328i ?
What’s the name of that sensor that you removed at 1:23 in the engine pay to the left of the cowl assembly
Dre Clarke cabin air filter sensor
Will this bolt on to a 2006 bmw 330i ?
Please can we do it on a 330i e90 2006 ?
Still waiting on the down pipe instal. Has been like a year
Does it work on a 135i ?
Did you find an E82 M3 style cowl? I need one too.
I saw your video of BMS cowl filters install DIY. Are these M3 cowl filters better? Why?
water leaks?
Never!
Plan on selling your old cowl? I'd be interested in buying it from you, screws and all.
i'll sell you one
Maybe good for your content... but senseless...
Also, The m3 hood is contoured differently matching the rubber seals of the cowel perfectly...
Dose it work on a 135i
Did you find an E82 M3 style cowl? I need one too.
nice but for $700 can invest in way better mods
Any plans for the old parts?
Missan Eido Not really, just sitting in my basement
@@BMWFanatic I will take them if you would like to keep the basement clutter down.
@@missaneido7417 what a loser
You just need 4 items to do the M3 cow swap ?
Е92 cupe 335?
Can not believe that there are people who pay so much money for a heap of plastic.
I just cut it and I'm done.
I took all that plastic junk out of my N54 engine
Is all about weight reduction though! 😁👍
technopro 2000 haha this guy knows
So no cabin filters and straight in path for the water? Sounds intelligent.
Max Nix I said ''engine'' I was talking about the stupid engine cover. I obviously have my cabin filter. You're not very intelligent.
Are you serious lol
my man paid 700 to gain nothing lol useless mod
