Hi, i am after fitting an air induction kit of good quality, and some cross drilled brake disc front and rear, anyone got any idea's where to get such items?
Preferably like a filter similar to the Blitz type (jap cars). As for discs have tried German and Swedish with no joy, most other tuning sites dont seem to list for M3 evo....Please help Thanks mark.

www.gruppemeurope.com/ - About £600 but meant to be very good.

I have fitted a BMC F1 panel filter in mine, only £50 or so from www.htrcarcare.com (ask for Joe) and it made a very noticeable difference, particularly above 5000rpm.

www.ca-autotech-bmw.co.uk/ do some US imported air intake systems for the E36 - I am not convinced myself as many cone filters end up breathing hot underbonnet air so you lose power, but they sound nice.

Thanks for that, like the look of the carbon fibre gear (But a tad pricy). Think i will go for the Gruppe M Cone Filter, and some FK auto drilled discs. Good sites, thanks once again.....

I'd be wary about putting just a cone filter in as you are likely to lose power rather than gain any, due to the fact that M3 engine bays get fapping hot so the filter will be breathing hot air into the engine rather than the cold air it is being fed at present.

It will sound nice, but losing power is probably not your aim?
