Not every one wants their engine bay to look like the intake came from home depot. The dcis loose bottom end to mid range power due to the fact that they are scavenging for air at all times. The is no pressurization in the air box any more since there isn't one. Not to mention sucking all that 200+ degree air into your engine with significantly less oxygen content. The Dinan intake is the most functional intake on the market and also the best from an engineering standpoint. Yes you can do a Mr 5, but again, the home depot look doesn't suit a BMW well. The additional heat shields with the Dinan kit are very nice pieces, and overall the kit is worth the money. At least to those who have the money for it, aka the ones that don't complain about the cost.
