2002 BMW e53 4.6is air intake HELP!

[MarkOanes]

Hey guys! I own a 2002 BMW e53 4.6is and i wanted to buy an air intake for it and have been doing lots of searching online. I have seen the afe stage 2 pro 5r around but it says 4.4/4.8 but no 4.6? I know they have the same fitment but i dont want to take the risk of buying it and it wont fit. Here is the link
aFe Stage 1/Stage 2 Cold Air Intake System E53 X5 4.4L/4.8L
Please someone let me know if it will fit because I am in need of this upgrade haha. I hope it fits!

Yes it will fit, all the V-8 engines are setup the same way. But if you do a search and some research here on the site you will find that the consensus is that buying an air intake system for the X5 is a waste of money. The intake system is one of the few things BMW got right on the X5...lol! Also, if you go with the oiled filter and you over oil it you will ruin your airflow meter, so do some research and reading here on the site, several threads with good info.

Great thanks for the info! I was wondering if i would have to do any mods to it or would it be a direct fit? Thanks!
