BMS filter kit
This sound clip is very intoxicating.
Terry, did you get a chance for fitment when you briefly had the 135i? I would be interested in this kit for my car. |

It fits great. I think we have the only 135i intake out right now.
Any mod can void a warranty if the dealer thinks it caused the problem. Protect yourself by removing it before service. Takes 15 minutes. |

I'll probably be going with this intake. It looks like it'll be a filter kit that's easy to modify with heat shields, intake scoops, etc.

Flow is the #1 factor for making power in an FI car. I'm also considering fabricating something along the lines of a PRM intake system: http://www.prmracing.com/ The challenge for any system is getting enough cold air into the engine compartment. A hood scoop would be the best solution, but I'm loathe to do that on a DD car.

Once you add DPs the intake will make a HUGE difference on the topend. Helix picked up an extra 20whp after 6000rpms just by removing the lid from the airbox! This should make a big top end difference on a tuned car.

How is it still connected to the "cold air intake"? It sure looks like it is just pulling air from the engine compartment.... Which is HOT.

Just refer to the description on the Burger website for the filter kit. "...it is designed to take full advantage of the factory cold air inlet."

On another front the filter gets fresh air from the factory air scoop, and gills located to the right of it. |
