Anyone using some sort of CAI (cold air intake)?

The option for CAI for the F10 is very limited beside changing the filter, I believe only Gruppe M is making one.

Any custom built one or maybe some company are offering CAI beside GruppeM?

I don't think Gruppe M makes one for non-M F10s. I checked their website and their kit is only for the M5.

They do make one for the 528 N20 engine. Looks very slick

$1700 USD for 7 hp? Doesn't sound like a good option?

I was told that they will not be producing an intake for the N20 as they have not found it to be worth while. In some case som intake have made the engine to loose some HPs. They are not too many options out there for the N20 and even less for the f10 serie. I guess the market is not big enough for 5 series!
