Cold air intake
Hey guys, so I have found various threads of cold air intakes for the M2. I wanted to see if anyone has the CTS or Turner air intake installed on their car.
1. I want no check engine light. 2. I want it to sound good which is why I'm going with no cover. If these aren't good intakes I will most likely go Dinan if the sound is good. I want to emphasize I'm not looking for power here I'm looking for turbo sound. Thanks! |

If you only want sound and don't want to spend a lot just get drop in K&N or BMC air filters
Careful with how you oil it. Broke MAF sensor is expensive. |

the dinan is literally the exact same as stock, just in carbon. in no way worth the insane price dinan charges.

Yes it is in carbon, but it's much more cylindrical than the stock intake. The stock intake is flattened quite a bit. Also, Dinan has a cone filter vs. a flat filter that the OEM intake uses. It puts out a noticeable amount of intake sound vs stock. Immediately noticeable even inside the car. Performance wise, it's likely pretty close to stock. Many have done tests on this and proven that nearly all aftermarket intakes provide little to no performance boosts. The price of the Dinan isn't that bad compared to others. Carbon parts are expensive, particularly with the M-tax added. The eventuri intake is over twice the cost of the Dinan and is also carbon. |

I have not seen a single dyno showing power loss with aftermarket intakes

The best intake is the one that came with the car. Simply swap out the paper filters for a set of BMCs and chuck the charcoal liners.

Wow. screw that noise. I picked up the Dinan for my LCI. Less than $500 and looks pretty nice.

It might not much add much power but it's a bargain considering it's carbon fiber (N55), my dealer fully supports and have covered related parts, under the factory warranty, with it still attached and it sounds great, without being obnoxious.. Win-Win IMHO. |
