Good assumption and info but when I had the AMSOIL Cone filter on the car DID respond a lot smoother and had more revving than before, I had to remove the filter cause it was to large for the area and was damaging the paint job. Sorry amigos will not use a K&N cuase of the oil issue plus I had a previous problem with my 02 MCS where the oil ran thru the tubes and MESSED up my MASS Flow Sensor, luckily the MINI mechanic was a fellow Puerto Rican and let me slide, he put down in the system that my MASS flow sensor was defective!!!

My point is diesel engines are by far more thermal efficient so sucking out hot air is not needed. PR - I too have used a cone filter and have noticed noticeable lag once heat soaking has occurred (waiting for light to turn green). |

It's a dual stage intake by design. Tuned for lowend torque and high end power. Once again the IS-F uses a similar design. The only reason I can see why a hose is attached is to prevent water from entering the box. Without the hose it is exposed.

hey guys we are getting TOO technical here, lets pressume something triggered Limp mode as we might assume the hose was the fault, yet I am still dumb that it did so , my question is why then did it not trigger limp mode when I added my AMSOIL filter? Please make the answers simple for all of us. I understand Cx Racing owner from the german boost site said he's planning in making a CAI for our cars he has an X5d, we'll see what happens then

@ VReiman I tend to differ on this I drove the car for 2 weeks and NEVER did the car go either on limp or safe mode, sorry to bust your bubble on this one, but it is good assumption that it can, I live in Puerto Rico so I can attest to weather changes either hot/humid/cool temp used with AMSOIL Cone Filter. The problem I had, like you state is the engine compartment on the DIESELS are closed and the only ventilation would be from the radiator fan(not good) the problem with AMSOIL is that the only filter to fit is the EaAU4070 if not mistaken and that one is to long 7" we need a cone no longer than 5 1/2 to 6" long, otherwise it will scratch your paint

Just curious, but when you ran the cone filter, did you leave the plumbing in place that directs the cool air from the front of the car into the filter area or did you remove it?

I left my pluming in place when I tried it on my D. Made great noise, but threw codes every now and then. Put stock box back on for now. Hopefully someone will figure out the correct way we can run piping from the brake ducts for a true cai system. By the looks of it there seems like there is just enough room for something to be fabricated in that area. :-)

Amigo Vreiman I removed the whole thing, I placed the cone air filter in place of the box
