Group Buy-335 Intake

BavDom · 10-07-2007, 01:32 PM

Good job in keeping this up guys, we've been working hard, getting everything ready for when we receive the 20th deposit. We've contacted our composite suppliers to let them know we'll be needing plenty RAW CF. So we are on standby, waiting on you

On another note, I've been sent around 4 PMS of people saying they are going to send their deposits soon, they're gathering the money so that's understandable. If you have the patience, you will have the intake. So everyone give yourselves a round of applause for being so patient.

I'm going to send a 3rd PM about the GB to the remainding members who have yet to respond.

Let's keep going! I assure you this will go through, this is the BEST intake out on the market, it has proven gains, that are EXCELLENT. Aesthetically it destroys any competition, it has prestige and sportiness when you open that hood. And it is safe from water. HYDROLOCK SUCKS!

We originally designed a conventional intake with bent pipes that ended in the fron like every other CAI on the market for any car. Unfortunately, the water would always uh..threaten the engine. So we decided to go with this design instead.

It's a design for BMW owners, people who have that special something, that love aggresiveness in their cars, love performance, love elegance, prestige, all without having to worry about reliability and malfunction

pay up people!!!!

(just kiddn

ulises 335i · 10-10-2007, 11:18 PM

Bump for any kind of update!

BavDom · 10-11-2007, 12:50 AM

We've been getting some responses from people, we should be receiving a couple deposits soon. I'll let you all know.

We haven't gotten the chance to look under the hood of the new 535i yet, I will actually go tomorrow to see if the intake would work, or what types of alternations would be needed to make it work. If so, and if any of you are also active members on five series forums, you can bring them here

BavDom · 10-11-2007, 10:37 PM

You know, we have had like three deposits of newcomers, So I really don't know what happened to the original 80. I think I'm going to post the names next week if I haven't heard from anyone.

I know this is hardest on those of you who already sent your deposits in. We are enthusiasts too, and when I want something, a day seems like too much time to wait for it. Just know that we appreciate your patience, and want to reassure all of you that you will be satisfied with the product once this happens.

Patience will definitely pay off. You are getting the best intake in the market, best looks, best performance, and safest with respect to natuarl threats such as water, etc...and you will be very happy with it.

On a side note, we have thought of making a nice CF engine cover to go with the intake, now wouldn't that be sick if you open the hood of your 335i and have a full CF intake AND a CF engine cover, with the same weave, to go with it?

Perhaps, If this is true, then I will get right on it.

There has to be 7 souls on this forum of the 20,000 + that want this intake, especially at this price.

ulises 335i · 10-13-2007, 05:02 PM

so what's the number of people that paid?

20-13=7 so 13 have paid, need 20 to start production and get the 799 price.

HyperM3 · 10-13-2007, 07:51 PM

Still debating on this because I trust the vendor and I like their product.

Does this intake get in the way of any aftermarket BOV's?

How about a deadline for those who need to pay? Shut down the GB after that date and start a new one after that.

When all the positive feedback (plus independent pics, dynos, etc.) from those first GB intakes come in, you'll generate even more interest and ultimately more sales on this thing.

Seeing as there are already people w/the new MSDS Stage 1 and 2 (plus cheaper to boot), you need to get your product out in the real world and on actual customers cars. If you want to compete.

Word of mouth rules here.

Just a suggestion, as people have already been very patient regarding this product.

Kev · 10-15-2007, 05:18 AM

Although what you say is true, remember that this product retails at over twice the price, the agreement we had with all of the members was that we needed a minimum 20, if not then the price per intake would have to increase.

I know how patient everyone has been, remember, we've been patient too, just as all of you we are waiting for all of those who signed up for the GB. A lot of budget has gone into putting this in production so we are in it to do it, and in the best possible way.

About the MSDS, we've noted that. It's an alright solution if you are low on budget, but make no mistake, this intake is the best out there. By only opening the hood and taking a glance there is a huge difference in beauty. It looks elegant, bestial, and it still flows with the BMW elegance your car was created under. Leaving it at that.

However, we do have a tentative deadline for the GB, unreleased as of right now.

fair enough, are we still short 7?
