(Sold) Gruppe M intake

[illirep]

For sale is my Gruppe M intake. Going back to stock airbox for now.

Intake itself, filter and hardware are in perfect shape. Runner moulding is a bit worn.

Asking $400 shipped.

Let me know if that price is off base. Not looking to pride gouge any one. http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/04/19/aeb996cb56876473bb8f402262125b7b.jpghttp://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/04/19/8a0856c191c0dc666e7252d18d5fcaef.jpghttp://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/04/19/8f2f72bf8ed406c9627d9b4af12c890a.jpghttp://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/04/19/c210d2538256abb3b0e7c776c37c6f68.jpg

Bill, I got both of my Gruppe M CAI for $300. I'd say anywhere between $300 to $350 is a good price. Just my two cents worth. GLWS :thumbsup

[illirep]

Thanks Charlie. Did you get it cheaper than normal? I feel like I saw these for $400. Felt it was worth asking before I drop the price.

Bill, I wouldn't just drop the price based on what I paid for.... You're in the ball park so I think you should be okay :thumbsup I just got lucky when I got mine :)

[illirep]

Just did a search here. Last sale of a gruppe m I could find: http://www.zhpmafia.com/forums/showthread.php?t=15706

As such, I'll lower my price to $375 shipped. Looks like his was in similar condition as well with worn rubber seal.

Bill, sounds like you got a great price! GLWS :thumbsup

Looks reasonable to me @ 375 shipped.

Bought mine for 350 two years ago , sooo 300 to 400 sounds reasonable to me

Bill....shame you're selling this intake. I thought you loved it. I'm sure someone will pick this intake up soon though!

Very tempting. Any comparisons to the BMW Performance intake?

$400 is a good price. (http://www.zhpmafia.com/forums/showthread.php?14983-FS-Gruppe-M-Intake-325-(SOLD)-51-minutes) I paid in the 'hood for that.

Love is a strong word. I definitely like it.

Using the funds towards my next project ;)

I would say the sound is very comparable. This one may be a tad more aggressive sounding than OEM perf, but a similarly 'deep' tone.

Thanks. I'll think about it. I love the look of both.

Anybody know how this compares to the AFE Stage 1 Intake? AFE and Gruppe are the two I am looking at

Gruppe has a hell of a noise. I think the AFE intake has better power but its neglible cause it's not much. The gruppe M makes the best noise IMO. That's all I look for in an intake.

Okay. Does Gruppe have an oiled filter? Or dry?

[UdubBadger]

Mine was oiled

Oiled.

The aFe has a nice growl at a "certain" rev range. The GruppeM has a "mean" growl in the ENTIRE rev range!

There is no beating the sound of a GruppeM on our cars, IMO.

So tempting. Maybe I can sell my BMWP intake to get this.

Let me know if you plan to sell, I'd be interested :shift

[mbeckel]

Just FYI Bill, I paid less than 375 for the one you posted, but you're not off base on the price. Just be open to offers

Man... I've been waiting for one of these. It is weird that i'm not a big fan of the gold?

Not weird. But I will say from experience, that I love this intake. I just picked up mine last week

Does anyone know if new runner moulding can be purchased somewhere?

[illirep]

I doubt you can buy it from Gruppe but I'm sure you can get a very close match from any hardware / plumbing store.

Sold. Glad it stayed in the family and I don't have to sell to the vultures at e46f!

Buyer got a good deal. This carbon kevlar version is much more rare than the plain carbon fiber version and cost way more when new.

[Jconlin16]

I bought it, thanks again Bill! [emoji106]

Well consider me teased as well. The seller changed her mind. After bank check was sent, deposit on shipping was paid, fedex fees were paid, carfax was purchased......

bummer... was that a 328i (RWD), M Sport Touring? 6-speed? (unicorn??)

you have good taste, bill. :) that's what i want too!

[illirep]

That is precisely the one! Eag was chasing it down too so they could sell it for double the price (literally). Sure hope they had nothing to do with this.

[slater]

oh man! i wonder if the seller would divulge that info, if asked...?

if EAG did swoop down on this one, that's just rotten. but it's also kinda rotten that the seller backed out after that level of comittment...

[illirep]

Well we'll find out in due time if it shows up on their site....
