BMW Intake. After I first installed it, I didn't noticed that much but the next day I could hear the turbo more. I heard more of it as I was driving next to my car.

Nice! that's what the consensus on this intake...no performance gains but you can hear the turbo spooling a bit more

I take that back, I think there is some performance gains (especially with the cold weather here in Seattle). I did a pull the other day with an STI on the road (dont know them) but was lined up all the way now.

I know, right? it would sprinkle for a couple hours just to get the car dirty enough to pick up all the dust.. then with all the fires around, it's been covered with ash every morning... and it's filled with leaves below my windshield wipers.

Word. I won't do intake because of this reason. I like the sleeper look anyway. Once I get the stage 2 turbo upgrade, dp, and intercooler in black...she'll still look stock under the hood....then its hustle time.

lsturbointeg · 12-11-2017, 03:41 PM

My Baby is going in for a recall for inline fuel pump and something else i forgot that i received from BMW in the mail. so had to adjust the KW's up to stock so she can clear the lift so they don't demolish my front spoiler. Boy, does she look funny!

look at that GAP! i can stick my head in there

i feel like everyone's staring at me at intersections and from across the street pointing and looking at me making me feel like something's wrong with my car but in reality it's sitting as high as everyone else! i think it's just me soooo use to having my car sit so low to the ground that i look at everyone else thinking their car looks ridiculously high

I believe the body shop just put in screws and nothing else

Given my car is basically all black everything, I thought about using neo tint on the headlights to break up the darkness...

How does it mount to the dash? And how does it look with the phone attached? Looks really cool tho!

one side has an "L" shaped winglet that goes between the AC/Radio fascia. The other side has a one with a hole in it. You open the glove box and put a screw on the side of the dash where the glove box being closed covers it.

Took about 30 seconds to install. Phone holder hasn't arrived yet.

Nice, but is there already a place by the glove compartment for the screw or you have to screw a new hole on side of dash

I believe we used this one (https://vvividshop.com/collections/a...headlight-tint ) I've never really liked the neo chrome tint on whatever car, looks kinda JDM'ing to me personally. If i had a black car, I think I would go for the just blue headlight tint.

More tint selection: https://vvividshop.com/collections/a...headlight-tint

For reference for everyone else (neo chrome tint)

No screw hole...you make it. left side of glove box covers it though. If you're really anal about a black screw, I'm sure you could cover it with a grommet or the like. Doesn't bother me.

Yea, I have about the same sentiment as you. At the end of the day I can remove it if I don't like it. Maybe I can tint the head lights, then neo chrome tint the fogs.

No screw hole...you make it. Right side of glove box covers it though. If you're really anal about a black screw, I'm sure you could cover it with a grommet or the like. Doesn't bother me.

Just ordered one thanks man!

535_BiTurbo · 12-14-2017, 10:49 AM

Installed a Dual Cone Intake on my F10 550i

Pstephana · 12-14-2017, 11:16 AM

Did you have it touched up or complete reconditioned? Does the color match your existing wheels?
