That has got to be restrictive. The Euro Box http://www.ecstuning.com/BMW-E92-328...ake/ES2072577/is an OEM upgrade that uses the stock intake snorkel. I like the design. But it is hard on the budget. A much less expensive option for a similar improvement would be to do the carbon filter delete and get a K&N drop in.http://www.e90post.com/forums/showth...ock+intake+DIY

All that said, I think you would be very happy with just the AA tune and the PE to start with.
Thanks for the advice and links! I'll take a few looks and delay all of these performance mods until I have enough cash saved up to bring it all together. I'm sick of researching but I guess it's important when you're changing the ultimate driving machine
