Cold Air Intake Near DS Fog Light?

I am trying to link my buddy who is looking for an M3 to this intake I once saw that had the cone filter visible by the driver side air dam, what appeared to be next to a cooling duct for brakes as well. Very cool setup, clearly a dry weather car because of the exposure of the filter but the car had a GT wing on the back as well.. So I'm thinking it is either some OTS kit sold, or, a custom setup someone made.

Thanks!

VF and ESS SC kits relocate the filter to the drivers side lower intake duct. Thats probably what you saw.

So cool.. Wish there were pics somewhere, can't really find them on either site. Both of those SC kits are really high quality!

Keep in mind the stock intake draws air from that opening. There is duct work from that opening up to the airbox. There is not much you can do to improve what the BMW engineers developed.
