There will be a intake for the E90 out soon. I'm taking my car to a compay later this week for them to proto type one for my car. I'll post pictures when its done in a couple of weeks.

AznBeemer23 · 10-04-2005, 12:23 AM

You will see it when its done....

rody · 10-04-2005, 01:12 AM

i also drove a few km's with a k&n sports intake en that sound was also awesome... but my contro lamp also went on, so i went to the dealer and they concluded a error in the air sensor hahaha... but for the sound without the sensors going crazy just take off the cover from the air box and you have a very nice sound

GruppeM already has one for the 4 cycl E90. I think they should be releasing the 6 cycl version soon.

Check out their website www.gruppem.co.jp for more info. You can see some photos of GruppeM installed in some of the BMWs like 1series, 3series, 5series, etc...

It sounds so nice like kinda if you have a turbo I was in love

Tierfreund · 10-04-2005, 10:40 AM

I don´t believe aftermarket intakes are worth the trouble unless all you are looking for is a more agressive sound. As for power: Don´t expect too much (if anything). As for the downside: Your MAF might get killed and your voiding your warranty. Wether that is worth it is up to you.

But don´t miss out on the thread, it´s rather interesting:

I had a AEM system in my last car. To be honest I got tired of cleaning the dam filter with that nasty spray crap, not to mention it never seemed to get all the way clean. So I just put the stock one back in and I am back to a new filter for every change. Clean and easy and you know your not putting anything still possibly dirty back in the intake system. It did sound nice when I had it on though.

guys - keep in mind that there are still some benefits to the intake system

i had one on my e30 325i and it paid for itself in gas milage

the intake let the engine breathe better and i got substantially more miles to the tank, but my intake was sucking hot air most of the time, because they didnt make heat shield for this car, and i saw no power increase

but the sound was worth the install!!

rody · 10-04-2005, 04:32 PM

they are already on the market for bmw 530i isn't that the same engine ?..
would it fit ?

D-Rock · 10-04-2005, 06:32 PM

No its not the intake is totally diff

rody · 10-05-2005, 12:27 AM

okay then i'll think i just have to wait...
