Best Performing Intake System?
So I lurk the NA forums quite a bit, read a lot, but hardly post anything and I need help making a decision regarding on which intake to go with. Granted I'm sure the performance differences are marginal between all the intakes but I simply want the best performer. From what I've seen the top three selections are BMW PI, AFE Magnum Force Stage 2, and Euro Box with a drop in K&N.
From your guys experience which of these three (or if you have a better recommendation) would net the most performance? I also plan on doing charcoal delete, replacing the intake hose, and going with an AA tune within the upcoming week so I'm pretty excited  (these will be my first performance bolt-on mods). |

True I could save for some headers/other stuff but I plan on doing that at later stage anyway. I mean combining an Intake, tune, plus headers would give an overall larger increase in power instead of just going with headers no?

Just save your money, we are talking about differences you won't feel.

Ideally the most efficient intake is the Euro BMW or BMW Performance intake. You won't see or feel any other gains that are worth the money spent. At a Euro Intake you're half way there towards AA Headers...for what? 2-5 hp gain max? |

Stock intake box with charcoal delete, K&N filter and the Rev Motoring intake hose.. Save your money for headers and the AA tune for real results
