eBay 30 dollar "carbon fiber" filter and air duct
That's a Kamotors intake, they are actually a pretty good intake from what I have heard. IIRC they run about $150

Dom hit the nail on the head. Kameron re-sells the 30 dollar "carbon fiber" filter and air duct kits that you can buy in bulk from Alibaba.
After failing to devise my own E30 intake, cramped up in the factory location with the factory AFM, ABS unit, and coolant reservoir, I bought the Kamotors intake.
The best thing about it is that it fits the E30 engine bay,
I don't trust it for filtration and the radii on the inside are dreadful for flow losses, but its pretty much all that exists besides the stock airbox.
When coupled with your run of the mill AFM adapter, you are faced with an even worse transition which creates a lot of turbulence and flow losses that hurt your low end performance.

I stand corrected, thanks for the info!

If you are looking for a little better filter, spectre makes a couple inline filters ranging from 3-4 inch inlet/outlet smooth look or flat edge. Part numbers are 9831-9833. No shame plug I make custom intakes and buy silicone couplers in bulk off of alibaba, I have up to 3 inch tube bender and bead roller.

You mean a chinese intake from Alibaba that kamotors buys in bulk, puts his name on it and resells for A LOT more?
aka I bought one off ebay (when I first bought my car) for more than half the cost that kamotors sells his for and compared them to someone who had his. Same shit.
But don't tell Brian since kamotors is his boyfriend.

I have a brand new KA Motors branded intake I'll sell for $35 ($5 extra since it has the sticker on it).

love it. 2 e36's both listed at 14k and both sellers needing to sell in order to buy a house in the same timeframe. I guess i shouldn't be surprised considering it's home-buying season.
That white one looks like trash. Anything with a sticker on the front windshield that says "just drift it" is basically an automatic fail

Do anybody know anything about this e34? Apparently it's been for sale for a long time which is a red flag to me, my friend may go look at it today.

saw this ad awhile back. my thoughts -
1)strange two-tone interior which they have clearly dyed from gray to black in places. touring interiors are very hard to come by if you wanted to fix this by replacing them
2)air ride suspension
3)black out tint
3)all the things wrong from his ad
-sunroof won't open not a fun fix
-interior needs work duh
-rear door Windows don't work new regulators $$, but could be wiring?
-rear left door card is garbage see 'duh' above
-rear seat needs to be repainted see 'duh' above
-cracked windshield easy fix
-rear hatch window works when she wants. not an easy fix, but doable
-split rear bumper e34 bumpers arent expensive but still has to be replaced
-damage to front right bumper. I slid into a snow bank. see above. also looks like the nose panel is broken and possibly the fender is damaged4)The 5-speed swap, e36 steering wheel, wheels, and paint condition are nice!
conclusion - overpriced, but not by a lot

Yikes. Thanks for your input. The title is "in his sisters name" which is another huge reg flag to me. I'm trying to steer my buddy away, as sweet as a bagged e34 touring is.
