Best intake with most gains for 335is
I had the BMS intake on my 2012 335i coupe, nice intake, great price, but I just didn't love the whooshing sound. Are there any intakes out there that don't have that sound, that are recommended for a 335is, I would also like something with some extra power. What are your thought? And yes I did search and didn't come up with much.

Really? This topic has been covered endlessly here. Try a little harder.

If you're doing just a tune, change to a K&N or aFe drop in filter
If you're gonna mod heavily, any of the DCI intakes (BMS, aFe, Injen, etc) are fine |

Plenty of gains with the right intake, especially when you raise boost the stock intake becomes a bottle neck.
If you want an intake that has the flow you need without the sound checkout the AFE Stage 2 Elite SI intake, its a sealed intake. Any other open element intake will have some sound. |

Maybe adding some air scoops to the stock setup would give some small gain. |

The aFe Stage 2 SI Elite produced 13 whp and 17 wtq in 93°F over the Stock with K&N Drop in Filter @OP Jeff@TopGearSolutions offers the best deal on this intake |

That's the type of intake I'd like, but can only find it for $805 shipped and that really expensive. Is there anywhere else that has a better deal?

Seems like a bit of over kill to spend $700 extra over the cost of a DCI to cut the intake sound down. I would stay with what you have or get a good drop in for the stock box & take a little hit in power. With $800 left to spend you could always make it up someplace else like with a meth kit.

I would just get a JB4 or similar.... you'll see more performance gains than an intake

I wonder if it would be ok to run either the Cobb Stage 1+ or 2 agressive maps with just the AFE stage 2 elite intake?

Mr. 5 did a thread on this.. The stock airbox is the best but as Jeff from topgear said it becomes more restrictive at higher boost levels.. You can build a Mr. 5 intake for like $50 with parts from Home Depot

No has mentioned Stett CAI....it's a true CAI - very nice product and will likely see the same gains as the AFE Stage II SI.
And for $400 less - grab a JB4 |

From the testing I've been able to find a true cold air is good for an extra 3-5HP. Typically not worth it if your looking and the less expensive filter setups but if your already looking at the AFE and others then it might be worth a look. Some have complained about fitment issues though as it's a real tight fit to get down into the front fender area.
