I have an aFe intake that got off of ebay (http://www.afefilters.com/IntakeSytemstest.asp#BMW). I like the way it looks and performs. As I stated before, not sure if there are any hard numbers that the HP or torque went up but the butt dyno says better and smoother acceleration. TRUCK (had to Juan ) computer says better gas mileage.

I've had my AFE intake for about 7 months now and I can definitely say that there's an improvement in fuel economy. I can't say that there's any noticeable performance gain but it certainly sounds nice. Accerleration off the line is noticebly smoother as Ekaz mentioned. Good mod for the money.

I hate to be a prick, but you should never pay MSRP (or try as hard as you can) for car parts.

Evosport has the AFE intakes for a great price. You guys want to try to get a group buy going? I'll take care of all the contacting Evosport stuff.

X5 3.0 = 249$
X5 4.4 = 349$

I'll try to get as low of a price as I can.

Just add yourself on the list if you possibly want the intake.

Not being a prick, I wouldn't and didn't pay MSRP for the intake. I posted it for informational purposes only. I got mine for well below MSRP with 2-day shipping so I had it installed for trip to Juan's for the meet. I know a local evosport distributor so I can check on prices as well if you want.
