I am deciding among the Conti DW, PSS, and StarSpec for 18 inch OEM.

Does eanyone know what brand has the tread that looks like this: [//////] <-- tire on its side. It starts with V...

How does one go about making a custom intake manifold?
I'm thinking a spare Manifold can be cut up... merged with e46 M3 or something custom and ugly

Can anybody confirm how the airflow goes in our intake:
- Air box to throtle body, which sits lot in the intake. Why does it go down low from airbox?

- From the Throttle body, air moves up into the DISA/ non DISA acutators
- From DISA it moves into the air inlets for the engine.

Thoughts on Custom:
Take non DISA 128i becuase it has no actuator motors & only one sensor:

130i http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts...56&hg=11&fg=40
See if Throttle body can be moved
Cut up to from the very least after the throttle body merge with e46 M3 or custom box
