found a better intake but it's more expensive
For all you who did not like the bms because it was so close to the engine and worry about the heat issues. This has a bit more distance from the engine

Uh but now it really is just sucking in hot air. At least the filter options are still hitting the incoming air from the kidney vents

I still prefer a nice CAI or the BMS filter as it still gets air from the front air ducts |

Seems like factory air box is still the way to go as long as hot air intakes are the only option.

Seems like a horrible design. I just can't really see how any other intake system will improve on the OEM design, it's a dual kidney ram air intake. You can replace the filter with a K&N panel filter

It will be interesting to see if there are any gains found with the BMW performance filter kit ....

The formula to figure the ideal outlet temperature is: T2 = T1 (P2 ÷ P1)0.283 Where: T2 = Outlet Temperature °R T1 = Inlet Temperature °R °R = °F + 460 P1 = Inlet Pressure Absolute P2 = Outlet Pressure Absolute |

Most tuners have said the factory box is a limitation as the power goes up.

That kit is a rip off...just a bit of plastic drain pipe+ a K&N haha. What you really need to do is locate the filter in the front bumper somehow totally out of the engine bay. I have done this on other cars and it means that intake air is same as ambient. Means longer intake pipe length though. I do not know if this is achievable on the 135i.

Someone needs to develop an intake like the J's racing or Mugen intakes for the S2K. They have a "snorkel" to direct cool air from the front of the vehicle to the filter. The snorkel actually encompasses the filter, so it's not sucking in air from the engine bay.
This shouldn't be hard to do with the 1. Just make a piece that connects to the existing ducts and houses the high flow filter. |
