I'm trying to figure out what the best intake is without spending 3k. I daily drive in the mid west, rain snow etc. concerned about water or something getting into the filter. That's the only thing stopping me. Really want to hear the turbos and apparently blow off valves are a no go for these cars.

This is my personal experience .... I do find MSR to be slightly louder than PG, I'm not sure if it's due to the tubing material (MSR = Stainless Steel vs PG = Silicone) and/or the filter type. With the said, I personally find MSR to be most attractive and I am an MSR fan so maybe I am biased. I think end of day if pricing is the key factor, PG will be much cheaper and net similar if not the same results as MSR. Both loook sexy.

As for rain, I ran my MSR for two years and never had any issues or concerns. My F10 M5 was a daily driver. I did a few times remove the filter to see if water was getting through and I did not see anything.

Hope that helps a little.

I believe pg now has carbon fiber piping. But I'm not convinced intakes give hp. I did 10.1@139 with stock air boxes 🤷🏾*♂️.

I think RK explains it best and they've proven this

Previous best was 10.29 and 10.21 with PG. replaced filter with aFe 24-91131

Thank you, 10.21 just with intake ? Just curious and I'll probably do project gamma then. What filters did you get by chance from k&n ? Thanks again everybody I appreciate it

Just noticed we practically have the same cosmetic upgrades also, same paint etc. pretty dope, but I'll be doing those intakes and how about that evolve tune for daily driving and Beating the shit out of the car? Just stage 1 93 octane simple stuff for now, easy to install and have fun, thanks

No issues with mine. I've been running them on my F10 and now F90 for over 4 years and I live in Washington, one of the rainiest states.

Of course you have to be careful going through puddles and not following too close on heavy rain but they work great. Plus they make the car look so good.

If anyone's interested I have a set of PG intakes with brand new filters, picked up an AWE intake so letting go of the PG.

Yes

Is there anyway you can make the filters be closer to the headlights?

You'd have to take out the bars and cut the tubes. I remember reading the bars aren't super critical but you should independently verify.

Anyone run BMS intake ? It's Very inexpensive compared to other options.

PG
Best bang for the buck

Performance On par with Dinan without inlets,

Sounds Better than Dinan,

Maintenance more than stock or Dinan,

Looks Mean but not for everyone,


Dinan
Best high end intake,

Performance on par with PG & Turbo inlets is a big plus and might surpass PG when combined,

Sounds Better than stock but not as good as PG,

Maintenance similar to stock,

Looks amazing and will please everyone.

No offense to any one but F*** Project Gamma and their cheap intakes. You get what you pay for and I had them. They were okay but these guys think their elite and they are not. They look cheap and Eventuri /Dinan is way better

eh pretty much I got dinan turbo inlets I wonder how pairing the dinan intake with them would be

3 years here with MSR intake SS filters and pre filter always on.

Just ordered MSR this past week. I will let everyone know how it looks and sounds ! Got them painted in Brands Hatch grey to match the car. have never used their intakes before but have only heard good things and they look top notch
