[stefandragnea]

hy guys, cand you recommend me a good cold air intake? cand what else cand I change on my x5 engine?(except the supercharger). I`ve ordered full supersprint exhaust with sebring catback. what do you think? it`s a good choice? I`m in a full process of transformation of the X.
My car is a 2009 e70 4.8iXdrive. And some prices for the cai, and other parts, not the exact prices, approximately

sorry for my bad english

I really don't know if an aftermarket CAI is really going to make any difference at all. During my delivery process, the BMW rep was there and he went over the design of the engine and pointed out how the air intakes have been pointed right to the kidney grills. I guess in the E53, the intake was pointed somewhere lower behind the front bumper. He also pointed out how the kidney grills were re-designed and the angle of the grills forces more air into the engine. I would say save your money or spend it on something else!

i don`t know what to say, it`s very possible that youre right. I haven`t found any CAI for the e70 model, only sport air filters. But with the exhaust what do you think?
