Had to get it custom made so I dont think its that bad. If i get a bunch made i could probably get a lower price

I have the same issue. I'm want to figure out how to make one. Probably wont be pretty but I'll make it work. 4000-6000 rpm is almost a complete waste. At least the sound is there lol.

Let me know if any of you would like some made. I will include the longer bolts for installation. $60 shipped

Can you provide us with the exact measurements and sizing etc that can be given to a machine shop in my area?

Cheers

Im going down the the machine shop on thursday to get the measurements, I will let you know as soon as I get my hands on them.

How does it feel after the spacer was put in ? I'd like one but 60 is kind of expensive

Thanks for being the hero that E90post needs... not the hero E90post deserves.

In all honesty I have been driving with the Afe intake for about 6 months now and pretty much got used to how the car was driving, after I put in the spacer all I can say is wow, this is how the N52 engine is supposed to drive. For the longest time I though the N52 was just slow and I was a little dissapointed to be honest. After this fix the tourqe is sooo much more even along the whole rpm range (especially the real low end and high end), I cant thank the op enough for this fix, I feel like i am finally driving a sporty bmw again. I also had some idleing issues on cold starts before and I havent noticed it since the fix.

Regarding the $60, I talked to the manufacturer and If i can get 12 people who want them I can get the price reduced significantly. Otherwise for such low volume thats the best I can do for now. Hope this helps.

Is this a problem with just the 320 series? I have a 06 330xi and don't notice anything with my intake. If I get one of these, wonder if it would change anything.

This is only if you have an aftermarket intake. I don't think it applies to the 330i

[DaytonM_330xi]

Oh sorry, I do have the AFE intake.

Well for me, I dont really notice anything "wrong". I feel that the intake got quieter due to incorrect MAF readings which also leads to decreased response and performance. IMO, I would join the list If i were you

[DaytonM_330xi]

Put me on the list too. I can always remove it if it doesn't produce a change.

[rich123321]

When I get some extra money to play around with, I might just go ahead and pay the 60 bucks for it. I dont think the list will reach 12 people IMO. Then again, It may
