All intakes are basically the same, get the cheapest one.

Blow on you meaning blowing and wasting your money!

Our RSD charge kit may be pricey but it is a quality piece. We like to use the HKS SSQV BOV as it is the best in sound and quality IMHO.

.... Every time I hear BMW with BOV it reminds me of riced JDM, but each to his own.

I like the UR intake. Looks nice under the hood IMHO. Honestly all intakes make little difference in power for the price. They sound great though.

Just pick one and if you don't like it sell it and get another one.

If you get a good intake, the sound of the turbos and diverted valves will be almost like a blow off valve, but you'll keep the performance up better than with a blow off. The BMS DCI is probably an excellent choice.

I did a ton of research. Although its the cheapest and the simplest, the BMS DCI seems to be the best intake to with a tune. I'm still breaking mine in and I noticed the gains immediately. It may not be the flashiest intake but it does the job well. Besides you can use the other hundreds of dollars for a meth kit or something.

The other thing I noticed, the intake pipes wrap around the engine anyhow. Just food for thought.

Check out the comparison that one of our members did on here with the STETT CAI and I think the AFE (not 100% sure).
