if anyone has a cold air intake they are wanting to sell ( or any kind of performance part) for an m54 e60 525i please let me know. Thanks!

We have a ton of options for that car!

What did you have in mind first? As for the intake kits, there are a few options on the market.

I took a look at your website. What's your opinion on an intake vs drop in filter? Is the intake worth the difference in cost? Besides possible sound difference, is there any hp increase. Thx.

I would say that the intake provides for a more aggressive sound. On the N54 equipped BMWs like the 135i, 335i, and the 535i, they have reported good gains.

For the N52 equipped cars, I would say a couple of horsepower would be gained but nothing too drastic.

i'd just get the drop in filter when its time to replace the air filter. then just wash and reuse.

flyby,

Thank you for your review.

I just want to let everyone know that you should allow for your ECU to learn and adapt to the increased airflow (higher overall CFM). After which, there should be a nice bump in performance.
