Now Nowack ducts feed brakes/fog lights 4 ram air effect - The Unofficial BMW M5 Messageboard (m5board.com)

Apples · 5th November 2002, 22:24

After the Homestead track day a few weeks ago l've decided that the rotor warping problems in part came from not having enough air being circulated around the BIG reds when they get bloody hot.
We (BMW tech) took out the OEM fog lights and used that space for the CAI, and just ran the old ducting from the air that started at the Nowack rings to the brake duct's
I think it helped some but the brakes are about toast even after the 30miles l did at Moroso on Sunday.
Gota go and catch a flight...chat later

Hi Apples,
i saw/read your post on your car. It's gorgeous!
I just ordered a 2003 model M5 car and Im simply waiting for the bad boy to arrive. I's love to do the NOWACK Ram Air Ducts to my car when it arrives But I have no idea howto do this. I've read several posts on this topic but the main problem is, that Im not mechanically skilled, so I wouldn't fool around with an expensive car, not knowing if I'll botch up something and ruin the section Im working on. Can you please tell me whhere I can get this Ram Air kit???? This way, I can get the kit and have my BMW Tech. do the install job for me. I really want this Ram Air Duct kit, so I hope you can help out.
Thank you very much for your assistance with this matter.
Much appreciated!
Robert

Yow! Looks great Apples! Like the others I'm also curious as to what type of foglights those are! Looks alot like the Hella Micro fogs.

One thing I noticed is that you've got a lot of scratches under the front of your bumper! What happened there?

KRM5....what did you do to the pics....gota tell me how to shrink them

The fogs are off the new 740 and fitted just right for that small section. It took some time for them to get them held in and setup to work well.

Scratches...yep it only take a steep section to do some light damage when the beast's been setup in super low steath mode aka KW's.....but who the hell is looking under the front skirt when is's 6 inches from the ground.....Don't shoes also look good from the top don't they
