The kind where someone gets points for how many people he/she can encourage to click through? That's not a crime, but honesty requires you to identify who is benefitting here.>>> I don't think this is a referral link, but if it is I apologize. I simply clicked on the link in the email I got from Carparts and forwarded that link. If, by chance, I get some kind of referral $$ from Carparts, I'll send it in to Suzy to put toward the list. From what it looks like, the link got cut off in my email to the list, you need to add the "3 -0-0-0-0" to the link. Sorry to any confusion, just trying to help everybody get a good deal. As for the discount, they deduct it at the end of your order as you begin the checkout procedure. Prakash Maggan http://hometown.aol.com/dinan750 Email: pmaggan@yahoo.com ICQ # 10148265

If so, I reduced the 0-60 time on my M3 by half a second with an intake kit and no chip. My best time with the stock airbox was a little over 6 sec. My best time with the intake kit (no chip) was 5.5 sec. I think others have also had similar results. Suzy

I did order two tires (235/40/17 MXX3) though for $412 including shipping to round out a set I have.

And no, I'm not recommending one vendors' cold intake system over another. That dead horse has already been beaten. Bob Stommel 97 M3 street 88 M3 race
