Looking to buy:

- n55 BMS intake for f10 (no im not paying $150 for a used one)

- x-drive compatible lowering springs that are stiff when cornering to keep the car stable but not super hard when going over bumps

- 20" / 19" rims / tires nothing too crazy .. paying 700-1000 depending on tires...

POST PICS below..

Shipping located CHICAGO, IL.

Make your own. I did for $52. Filter is based off dimensions of BMS filter. Less restrictive than BMS also.

Some info or links would be helpful. Awesome job btw.

I used 4 ply thick silicone tube (3.56") that was slightly larger than stock intake inlet (about 3.5"). Slide the tube inside stock intake. Smooth transition. Reused stock I let steel clamp. Filter is a universal K&N that's very similar to dimensions of BMS. The tube is 45deg got it away from engine into open area so you could go larger filter if wanted.
I wanted a filter with open center but couldn't find anything. The end of the tube rest perfectly on the stock lower air box rod.
All of this is smoother air flow than the BMS that goes narrow then opens up

That's awesome. You should copy this to the diy section.

That's what someone else just said. I'll write it up better, more step by step first. Also anyone know how to add a video? I took stock video then intake video.
I wish someone would do this then dyno. I'd be interested to see how it performs compared to BMS. Especially since it's a 1/4 re cost (I spent $52, BMS is $200)

Thank you Brandon!! Appreciate it much!!!

I agree with the addition to the DIY. I will do this setup soon and post my pics in your post!!

I have catless DP and JB4 stage 2.... I will add this and post my results of log and see what benefits it gives.
