BMW E46 M3 - CSL Intake ASMR - POV Mountain Drive

[@cooperastro2690]

Sounding incredible! Found you from the E46 page and will be posted for future videos! Awesome cars love the channel!

[@joshthebavarian]

Appreciate it man! Definitely going to have some fun here soon, looking forward to having you around!

[@matthewnicholas6365]

What I love about the S54, is that with little load on the engine it's pretty quiet. Like, you can have your wife or even her parents in the car and it's OK. But when you floor it, it sounds like it belongs in something far more exotic than an entry level BMW.

[@joshthebavarian]

Yes completely agree! When I am just cruising , maintaining throttle position , or putting around town, the car is completely quiet, and with windows up nearly silent. BUT, when you put your foot down… !

[@jamesrichards5601]

What a fantastic sound, lovely car.

[@joshthebavarian]

Thanks for dropping by James, cheers 🍻🤙

[@sceneryaesthetic6302]

Sounds incredible! It’s hard to describe that induction sound or portray it on video you just have to experience it.

[@joshthebavarian]

Yes completely agree! Its very hard to capture, its such a visceral sound in person. I did however get a "real" mic for the induction sound, and plan to test it out here soon on a different canyon run. Hoping that one sounds better. Cheers!

[@AlanTsao2645]

Lucky you have such nice mountain road

[@christem1536]

When i see M3 i hit like not matter what

[@joshthebavarian]

You and me are the same! Thank you!

[@ricky_ricardo]

When i see a bagel with cream cheese i hit like no matter what

[@infidel900rr]

That intake sounds amazing!! Love the build - very clean. God I miss driving those roads, why did I have to leave!?!? LOL

[@joshthebavarian]

Dude thank you! 🙌

[@PrzemyslawPikus23]

Nice driving and awesome sound!

[@joshthebavarian]

Thank you bro, thanks for dropping by! Cheers!

[@oversteer_9339]

Im definitely getting one as soon as i can afford it

[@tau-ceti]

Love how you tag this as ASMR. Not wrong though! I knew a guy with an e30 M3 who used a carbon intake - similar "grunt" in the induction sound, but not as epic as the 6 cylinder.

[@joshthebavarian]

Haha right?! Glad you agree.. and yes! I know exactly what you mean, the S14 plugged to a carbon airbox sounds very similar but also very distinctly different. Cheers!

[@ataorkunoguz5451]

Awesome stuff! You got yourself a new subscriber.

[@joshthebavarian]

Appreciate it bro! Need to install some diff bushings, should be here soon, then it’s time to hit the next canyon!

[@albertptran]

Dreamcar

[@joshthebavarian]

Thanks Albert! Im very pleased with how the car is coming. Cheers!

[@rsjones9303]

Looks like we live in the same area I've WOT all the time on the 57 freeway tunnel. I oughta be ashamed of myself I never took my M3 to GMR.

[@joshthebavarian]

Yes sir , good eye! GMR is great man, pretty much 2nd and 3rd only, really tight, but turn after turn all the way to the top

[@campmathias5348]

J’adore ce son d’air box👌❤️

[@joshthebavarian]

Thank you good sir! I posted another video just today with a better mic if you want to hear more

[@itskindalikethat]

hmm your video makes it seem like headers and exhaust are not required ..at least for sound asthetics lol. How much was your 6spd conversion all in? Great video. Ty

[@joshthebavarian]

To be honest, I am completely happy w/ the stock headers + exhaust. It really lets the CSL airbox sing uninterrupted, and it keeps me under the radar when im just cruising! Also, it cost me all in all about 2100$ for the 6 speed swap .Granted I did most of the labor myself

[@ktraoui]

love it!

[@joshthebavarian]

couldnt keep you waiting any longer ;)

[@niklavs8760]

damn!

[@chrisgalivan6465]

Very nice 👍🏼

[@joshthebavarian]

Thanks brotha! Appreciate it!

[@beau-fk5te]

What exhaust setup are you running along side the intake?

[@lharrobang]

Sick route. Please change gear more

[@joshthebavarian]

Thanks bortha! and not the first time Ive heard that haha, just so intoxicating letting it hit 8200rpm, as well as getting the down low rpm grunts.. Glad you enjoyed!

[@lharrobang]

@@joshthebavarian yeah I get you. Was refreshing to watch some raw driving in a great setting. Will be waiting for some more 👌

[@joshthebavarian]

@@lharrobang currently reinforcing the rear subframe, and waiting for my NEW CSL intake. Hopefully I can get it wrapped up here, sooner rather then later. Cheers bro!

[@joshthebavarian]

@@lharrobang also, I have 2 other canyon videos, where I use a better mic. Check those out if you havent already!

[@Bsalazar9877]

Wasting hella gas 🤣⛽️

[@joshthebavarian]

haha never "wasted" due to all the smiles-per-gallon! Cheers! 💪

[@noahdunkley1139]

Where’d you get that rear view mirror? Looking to get one for my M3 as well.

[@joshthebavarian]

Its a "Broadway" mirror, it clips right on and gives some excellent visibility. My OEM oval mirror is broken and the fluid is leaking internally, like most of them. lol

[@SinaRan301]

This road is in SoCal?

[@frontspring1]

Where did you get that rearview mirror?

[@joshthebavarian]

Its a "broadway" mirror. Gives some amazing FOV. Plus my OEM oval mirror is busted lol

[@frontspring1]

@@joshthebavarian yeah looks cool as shit. I'm looking to get one for my e36 and e46 m cars

[@_kunkle]

e46 m3s should make 280whp stock🤨

[@joshthebavarian]

On a Dyno Jet perhaps, of which I actually put down about 315whp on. But the Mustang Dyno we used in the video consistently reads 100% stock US E46 M3's at about 260whp, which is in line with other Mustang "Heart breaker" Dyno sheets online of other stock cars. Cheers!

[@carbonemtree]

bro 280 whp with a CSL box is not "healthy" lol. They make that stock & a CSL makes 365 CHP which should be over 310whp

[@joshthebavarian]

Im assuming the numbers your referencing are Dynojet numbers so idk if the comparison is accurate. I made 283whp on a Mustang Dyno that consistently reads 100% stock E46 M3's at 255-260whp. Not uncommon for Mustang numbers from what ive seen on NAm3 forums. I also made 315whp on a Dyno Jet that typically rates about 280-290 for a 100% stock car. Thats a decent delta on a car with stock headers, Cats and exhaust, running a base CSL map with no additinoal tuning, or CSL cams. What do you think?

[@JavierVermaas]

What brand csl intake is this?

[@joshthebavarian]

Its a replica from a company called Kevlar & Carbon out of Poland but Im not sure if they are still in business.

[@JavierVermaas]

@@joshthebavarian do they have a website or something? Or IG?

[@joshthebavarian]

@@JavierVermaas No IG , I never saw a website. There was a guy who posted on their behalf on the BMW E46 M3 owners group, on Facebook, but he hasnt posted in a few months and ive reached out to him with no response. If you can get one on sale at Turner Motorsport, they can be had for less then 1400 (before tax + shipping).

[@JavierVermaas]

@@joshthebavarian ok thanks. I saw the one on Turner Motorsports but that’s just the box. You need the whole kit in my opinion with dip stick relocation, filter etc. That comes down to $2000 I saw. I think I’ll get Karbonius or Geoff steel.

[@joshthebavarian]

@@JavierVermaas Yes you will need multiple supporting items. CSL dip stick + tube, MAP sensor conversion (or MAF Delete), + software. It will be close to $2000 worth of parts when it is all done.

Who needs a Ferrari 🤷🏻‍♂️ 😻😻😻
