RE: The BMW questions you were afraid to ask.
I think the main thing with air boxes is they hold air in them so when air is needed all of a sudden (acceleration) the air is there ready to go, quicker induction. The reason they are carbon is more then likely just for weight saving, adding a big plastic box would defeat the purpose of the quicker acceperation, the weight would probably counteract that added speed ![Wink](images/smilies/wink.png)
Hope that makes sense.
Japs done one few years ago called "arc air" for Vtecs, 4-AGE engines etc but they went out of business for a while, crazy prices now for them secondhand. Think they are back in business but not making the small and older stuff anymore.
Sorry on phone so ignore spelling etc
