Cold Air Intake

I'm looking to get an intake for my 2020 B48 G20.
Don't see any need for carbon given the prices involved, so my options so far seem to be MST or Armaspeed (Alloy version)

Could those of you with experience of either let me know your thoughts please?

Maybe there's another option out there that I've missed?

You realize the stock intake is a CAI?

Awesome!

Question on the burger one. Is this the filter only or does it come with the inlet pipe too?

If no Inlet pipe - would it mate to the MST inlet?

I have the MST full kit CAI that I bought from Mike over at X-PH.
I have to say I love it. It is a very easy install.
You can definitely hear the turbo spool up and when you have boost built up after letting off the gas pedal you hear the air release. My wife keeps telling me "that is not necessary" because am addicted to the sound when downshifting lol
As for performance wise, you can feel a faster throttle response.

Thanks for the input fella. I think your wife's reaction is the best advert for the MST yet. Looks like that's where my money is going 👍

I thought BMS confirmed they don't have a B48 G20 compatible intake yet?

I don’t see a B46/48 intake on their website either. Only for the M340i. Someone also tried buying that but it didn’t fit their B46 G20 330i.

I've been speaking with their customer services people. Real good comms.

Give them a message via the website and I'm sure they'll let you know fella 👍
