This is a GOOD quality build , really like everything so far.

One thing I don't get though is the double Euro/US plates, besides the fact that the Euro plate covers the entire trunk lid plate area where the the US one does not. Can't read the Euro plate and looks cluttered, IMO.

Cheers mate,
I like the colour of the plate and the width, it's an optional 'euro' plate back home in Australia. The US plate is an organization. "The California Highway Patrol 11-99 Foundation provides emergency benefits to California Highway Patrol employees and their families in times of crisis" or a legal bribe?, whatever you want to go with.

Yeah, it looks German plate. Didn't know you could use that in Australia. I know the whole 11-99 license plate deal, lol.

Sorry I meant the Euro/German style plate. Australia has a option for ‘euro’ style plate that is a bit wider than the regular Australian plates. Similar to the vanity plate service, though the one you see is just a German plate. Would be nice to get my state’s plate.

Went for a drive up to San Fransisco this weekend to pickup this beauty! It’s a shame it’s in immaculate condition with a clear bra, but painted titanium silver

Splitters were included with a clear bra. It was worth the drive!

I haven't updated my journal in a few months so here it is: My second-hand Karbonius airbox has had a bit of a imperfection (or has been developing an imperfection) in the clear resin visible between the weaves on a certain angle in the right lighting. So I messaged Karb's Facebook page asking if there is anything I could do to fix varnish. They responded requesting my warranty card, so I explained to them I purchased the airbox from another E46 owner and don’t have the warranty card. They made an exception and replaced the airbox upon returning the old one. It's interesting the changes that have been made between my original airbox and the current build. Here are a few comparison pictures of the new and original. Particularly the furthest (6th) trumpet.


New:

Now *that* is some customer service! Hopefully I never have to take advantage of it, but nice to know Karbonius stands behind their products.

Yeah, it was also helpful receiving consistent updates throughout the process.





Received a replacement smg expansion tank from ECS, my original one slowly would leak through the cap down the side of the bottle. My smg pump relocation kit also arrived. Hopefully I won’t have an issue bleeding with my Schwaben device.
