About this part
Bmw E30 headlight Intake
• Replaces a high beam headlight on either passenger or drivers side.
• 3 inch outlet, easily connectable to air box with 3 inch flex hose.
• Will also connect to aftermarket inline airboxes such as http://kamotorsperformance.com/bmw-e30-carbon-fiber-3-intake-kit-fits-m42-m20-m30-m50-s50-s52/ or https://www.amazon.com/Carbon-Filter-Universal-Enclosed-Induction/dp/B07DGC5WH4/
• There is tight clearance due to the core support behind the drivers side headlight but will still accept 3 inch hose.
• If connected to hose, it will be hard to put on a hose clamp but it will fit at the right angles.
• Only tested on late model headlight and on drivers side but should work on both sides.
• Smooth the intake with wood filler and high fill primer to make look smooth.
• INSTALLATION: Remove high beam headlight from housing, the 3 headlight adjustment rods MUST be removed by twisting near the housing and sliding out. The holes in the intake will line up with the holes from the adjustment rods. I attached with zip ties for easy removal, use bolts with washers and nuts to make a more permanent install.
• Printed in .2 layer height at 15% infil on a monoprice maker select plus in generic PLA; if you want it to last, print it in ABS due to exposure to weather.
