Intake for my 335i

blackbullet · 07-03-2011, 02:44 PM

Ok i did some research but the choice is hard to make , i live in a hot area , i'm doing it for the sound but i dont want an intake that will hurt the performance or mpg. I like the look of the oiled Afe but i keep reading that it is restricitive and not as loud as the others ... so what is my best bet for my 300-400$ budget ?

I have the BMS DCI's and like it, they are the cheapest as far as price is concerned and they get the job done. I'm currently liking the Injen intake kit.

go into the N54 section of the forum. there's at least one really long thread on this topic. concensus seems to be that injen looks cool but does the same thing the BMS DCI does for 4-5x the price. since I don't have a see-through hood, and don't show off my engine that much, I don't really what it looks like.

DCI should only increase performance not hurt it. Some people say this but I find it hard to believe. On the other hand, Burger saying it puts 17 hp to the wheels seems a bit optimistic to me.

I was told it only helps on a tuned engine. No use on a stock n54
