Intake Thread
I know a few folks have installed the BMS intake and that others from the M235i work (AFE, Dinin, Injen, etc). My question is what is everyone planning on getting and are there really any gains without a Flash/Tune? I know this mod is mostly aesthetics and sound, but I'd like some folks to chime in on their experiences as I've only had an Intake (Injen) on my 92 Honda Prelude which obviously wasn't FI and that was over 12 years ago.
Obviously they vary in pricing depending on the materials/branding, but I'm wondering what other M2 owner's are thinking... |

We removed the bottom half of the airbox and ran the car with no filter on the dyno and saw no gains, even with our ecu flash, downpipe and intercooler installed.

Will we see any aftermarket blow off valves on this car?

I may need to come out to Philly and hear your car in person (and stop by Fabspeed, lol).......I am really close to pulling the trigger on the Fabspeed Sport Cat and Muffler Bypass...I'm still deciding on if I want MPE or Remus or anything else. I think the Stock setup sounds great, but I want it louder! I know the Sport Cat would help with adding some noise...I want loud, but not obnoxious loud. Something that really makes me smile when going through a tunnel!! Haha.

I went with a drop in filter K&N, I like the original set up and I find it to be the most consistent in all conditions

If car is stock or lightly modded, you will not see or notice any gains just a sweet sound
Only time you might see some gains is when the car is heavily modded and even then you will only get a couple HP over 5500 RPM
