Best Intake for 2011 BMW 335i N55
I'm looking at purchasing an intake for my 2011 BMW 335I Sedan N55. I just got my car and not really to familiar with BMW's so I might have a few questions. Which do you guys recommend is the best? I'm looking more for the loudest sound. I'm looking at either Injen, BMS, or AFE. Unless there are other intakes I should look at? All options and inputs greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I don't really mind spending an extra $100. Honestly from reading and looking it up, I was leaning more towards the Injen intake, but I'm not sure if anyone has any good feedback or if they heard them or tried more then one intake out personally? I'm personally looking for the loudest sounding intake.

If you wanted the loudest intake, you could get the BMS Intake and an aftermarket diverter valve. Thats if you want the BOV sound.

I have BMS and love it. it is loud and you hear the "blow off" sounds and whistles a lot.
that being said, I would get the Injen for 1 reason only, you can get the piece that goes from the turbo inlet up to the intake also. Having this whole length unrestricted with the same diameter is a plus. that and my stock plastic turbo inlet is leaking |

I know an intake is not going to give me any noticeable gains and I honestly didn't care about that, just wanted the loudest sound/ spool & it to sound like a bov and from watching videos it seemed like the Injen sounded the best and loudest? Like a $100 does not make a difference to me and I install everything myself so Im not worried about that just the loudest best sounding intake.

I have the BMS intake along with VRSF charge pipe and intercooler. I put them all on at the same time so I can't say which one adds the most sound, but I have plenty of silly turbo whooshing and whistling noises.

I ran injen on n55 in SoCal for 6 months and swapped it for BMS intake towards the end of this summer. With Injen on a 95+ degree day I was getting constant IAT too high logged and CEL on really hot days when in stop and go traffic. I also run a Dinan FMIC for reference. Once swapped to BMS no more IAT too high logged on equally hot days to Injen issues with IAT. I would recommend BMS over Injen if you live in a hot climate.

Clean is the new cool, keep it that way.

Definitely better. Both from a filtering aspect and from a performance aspect since aftermarket intake HP per $ is really low. Ingesting more dirt into your engine isn't a good idea IMO and high flow filters = more debris in your engine.

I have the injen one and it sounds really nice - i've heard it next to a BMS one and the injen one sounds much nicer and is louder.
Performance-wise i've never had both so i'm surprised at @jarmend comment that "Once swapped to BMS no more IAT too high logged on equally hot days to Injen issues with IAT. I would recommend BMS over Injen if you live in a hot climate." |
