M7 info?

I had a few questions about the following products:

1.M7 Rear Lower Diffuser-http://www.m7tuning.com/parts/produc...roducts_id=121
Does this fit on a regular R56? or do I need to have the JCW body kit?

2. M7 AGS-R- http://www.m7tuning.com/parts/produc...roducts_id=117
Has anyone got this? Recommendations? Problems? I had the Alta intake but my car kept stalling when I turned it on because it was starved for air. I am worried about the same thing and would like to know if this experiences the same problem? Also does anyone have a video with this installed on the car?

Note: I didn't know where to submit this thread. Sorry if I picked the wrong place!

I would hold out for the Super AGS before going with the AGS-R, but until we get pricing on the Super its kind of hard to tell which is the better deal.

The last time I spoke to Peter he intimated that the Super AGS will be offered in the $275-$300 price range which if what he told me about the performance figures is true makes it an absolute bargain. I've watched his video about it on his youtube page and while he explains everything perfectly I was disappointed he never actually started the car to let us hear it!

If it really is in that price range I'll be all over it (after I hear it).

i honestly do not see how that is even possible

If that were true.... then the car must have never started with the stock intake.

Well that the only thing I can think of. It didnt stall before the intake did with then stopped after I removed it. If you have another idea please tell me.

Having read nothing more than that, are you serious? If that was the case, why didn't you phone or e-mail or Pm or AIm us for answers. If the car truly stalled when it was turned on, you might have left a shop rag in there or something? Seriously, there is NO way the car would be "starved for air" if that was the case EVERY intake system on here would do the same thing. If you want to change up intakes, NO problem, but that comment is just silly.

Let me know if I can help in anyway!

that really is extremely odd. like adam from alta said, there must be some kind of [serious] blockage in that particular intake. make sure you look over it inside out, installed it correctly, nothing's pinched, and no grapefruit was stuffed in a hose

btw, that diffuser looks sick. i'd put one on if they made it for r53

I have to agree with Adam...

There's no way that "any" filter system of any kind with the exeption of the
filter on my power washer would starve the car to a choking point.

And I also have to say Call the vendor and solve it in a fair way don't go on the forum and weather a grievance without giving the vendor a chance.

You all have a great weekend...

Hello. So I talked with your people on the phone today. Of course they were EXTREMELY nice and wonderful to speak with. We determined that there is an air leak in the pipes between my intake and the engine. Hurray for warrenty hopefully. Sorry to assume it was you guys!! Btw can't wait to get my Alta intake back on

I am sorry but i am still +1 on the answer of this question. I think it looks great as well but will it fit on my r56?
