Altfel de distractii cu bimmer-ele noastre Options

Ideea mi-a venit dintr-un post al lui Kane.

m-am gandit sa-i scot filtrul de aer si sa vad cum se aude. Deci cum poate sa faca monstrul, s-a terminat Daca stai langa carcasa te suge si pe tine in motor

Asadar:
daca nu aveti ce face distrati-va asa: demontati panoul care acopera ventilatorul aerotermei, eventual scoateti si ventilatorul. In felul asta veti auzi cam tot ce se intampla sub capota, prin gurile de aerisire. Scoateti si carcasa cu filtrul, lasand doar debitmetrul si dati-i bice. Am facut treaba asta intr-o seara cu 525-ul. Ferrari feeling :rock::rock::rock:

Copy & Paste from: BMW Tech letters

Beyond corporate puffery and specifically with respect to BMW engines, I don't see any benefit to the in-the-airbox oiled cotton gauze air filter. My feeling is they may afford an airflow improvement for cars equipped with air filters that are too small. But BMW air filters are huge. I have a hard time believing there are any restriction problems with the filters themselves. Now, the BMW airbox is a different question. I can certainly see restriction there.

With a BMW engine, if you were to go to a cold-air intake setup using a cone-type oiled cotton gauze filter filter, then that, combined with performance software, can yield a power increase. Will you notice it? That depends on the car and the driver. Modern BMWs are pretty well optimized right from the factory. Older models can benefit tremendously from a chip and intake program. And drivers? Some guys can bolt on 30 hp and not notice the difference. Other guys will trade their kids for another five ponies and be able to graph the difference.

Moreover, you need to understand the specialized maintenance required by an oiled cotton gauze filter. The element is oiled cotton gauze, not paper. When the filter is dirty, you or your technician will have to remove the filter, soak it with K&N Air Filter Cleaner (no substitutes), painstakingly wash the element with water (never ever use parts cleaning solvent on a K&N filter), wait for the element to air dry, re-oil the element just so -- not too much, not too little -- using K&N Air Filter Oil (no substitutes), wait for the oil to distribute itself throughout the cotton gauze element, and then reinstall it. This is not as big a deal as it may sound especially if you keep two filters and rotate them into service, but if you aren’t going to perform this maintenance work yourself and your technician isn't interested or trustworthy enough to do it, then keep the stock BMW air filter. It works just fine.

There are also sporadic issues of mechanical problems because someone over-oiled an oiled cotton gauze filter element, and engine problems because someone under-oiled the element. We also get varying opinions on the filtration abilities of oiled cotton gauze air filters, with some tuners claiming that the regular stock paper filter does a better job of keeping dirt out of the engine.

Cred ca daca aveam pe masina filtru sport as fi adus multe argumente pro. Insa fiecare face cu propria masina fix ce doreste, si normal ca orice mica modificare am aduce masinilor noastre, macar de dragul auto-sugestiei, tot ar trebui sa fim mandri si sa sustinem ca am facut-o sa fie mai frumoasa, mai unica, mai rapida, mai puternica. In definitiv, de ce nu ne luam toti cate o dacie si sa-i facem tuning de sa stea pestele in coada? Turbo, nos si tot tacamul. Si apoi sa fim mandrii de munca inutila depusa :unibrow: . Sa nu uitam de ce ne aflam toti aici. Priviti pe fereastra, poate o sa vedeti motivul parcat prin apropiere.
