You also need a fuckin air filter that fits, usually something like an ITG unit works ok. Add that to the the cost. You can run with open ram pipes like in the pics, but even for motorsport you end up ingesting rubber and grit particles into you fucking engine.

Do any cars come with individual throttle bodies as standard? I know most bikes do and I've a feeling M3 BM's might too.

anyone answer the dudes question about quad throttle bodies coming as standard?
tis a good question
although from past experiences with hearing TB's on various engines I dont think the M3 will have. sounds too tinny and raw to me!!
the power in the M3 comes from variable valve timing and having six cylinders
