stock airbox is pretty restrictive. If you're not planning on "tuning" just get a drop-in filter.

Oblivion08 · 06-20-2010, 04:53 PM

I'm getting a flash next week. And would the 2009 air filter fit my 2011 one?

v300 · 06-20-2010, 04:57 PM

If you're going to get a Flash; DCI all the way. Check with the vendor. If you're car is a N55; I think you're going to have to wait on a new intake. Different piping.

Where are you getting your flash from ??

5soko · 06-20-2010, 07:43 PM

the 2011 N55, doesnt get a DCI and there isnt a Intake/filter available for it yet.. Drop in filter should be avaiable soon i would guess.

A intake/filter is alot harder to create on the N55 than the N54 now since it uses more sensors on the intake piping.

SV Concepts III · 06-20-2010, 08:44 PM

N55 new so the aftermarket support is limited but don't worry, we'll have this covered soon.

Oblivion08 · 06-20-2010, 09:01 PM

Okay thanks guys. I want to do one of these mods soon..guess I'll wait. I'm getting my flash from Gintani..I'll post up the pics of the car this week..along with the results from the flash.

cstavaru · 06-21-2010, 03:35 AM

As I understand, an aftermarket intake for the N55 is not easy to do because it skews the sensor readings. I will probably need a tune for it to work.

shockin330i · 08-15-2010, 01:40 PM

gintani already has a flash for the n55?

awei130 · 08-15-2010, 03:21 PM

I heard AFE just purchased a N55 just to develop products for it. I'm sure you'll be able to find more information from one of their master dealers such as **********s.com soon!

stock airbox is not as restrictive as you might think! the engineers at bmw did a pretty good job. it also keeps IATs low because its enclosed. people putting in DCI's are shown to perform the same if not a little bit worse than the stock airbox.

DCI's with proper heatshields and ram air on the other hand is a different story.

If you don't mind the cost and like the Gucci look Carbon Fiber, look and see if Dinan CAI will fit your car. I just had that installed on mine last week, and honestly, no other intake even comes close in performance and looks. And it is a direct replacement of your stock cover, but it has a secondary cold air intake with a shield that goes in your bumper.

BMS DCI is also a good intake
