What cold air intake do I use on the 535i?

Sup guys, I got a full bolt on f10 535i and I was in a buddies f30 335i and his cold air intake changed the way the car sounded completely. Keep in mind we had the same mods as well as a straight pipe so yeah I compared sounds. Does anybody know the best cold air intake for the best of both worlds in regards of sound and performance. My car is tuned and I’m not sure if an open cone intake is would make me lose power or not. I’m okay with no gains but I definitely don’t want losses. I’m mainly just looking for a intake for mainly more sound. Also, I’ve heard of bms intakes being nice for sound but also got mixed reviews on the IAT’s it brings compared to stock box. Anybody got recommendations?

Stick with factory cold air because is the best for delivering ambient temp air vs. hot air from engine compartment to intake. Just my opinion.

Whatever you get, make sure it isolates the intake from sucking in heated engine compartment air. You want something with baffles or a housing around it to put the cold in the cold air intake!

MST's for example: https://www.mst-performance.com/products/bw-53501
