it will increase air flow and sound.
It will probably also add some HP, nothing you will notice

I guess none of the existing F3x intakes work on the G20?

Double checked first to make sure it fits the G20, I already purchased an intake from them and had to send it back because it didn't fit

Its supposed to fit the 330i and 330i xdrive g20. But ive heard some storys of oiled filters fouling the mass airflow sensor but that was years ago and im not sure if thats from ppl over oiling them when cleaning or it happening from the pre oiled filter.

Most probably over oiling them. I have an oiled filter in one of my cars (non-BMW). The MAF is working fine. Car has done 100k+ miles and it uses the same filter that I’ve cleaned and oiled myself.

I purchased the one that claims it fits the 2019 330, here's a pic of the box

Ah gotcha. On some websites, the 2019 330i is the F30 car. Not G20. Those websites usually don’t have an option to pick 2020. That’s what I’ve noticed when I checked out a few to see if it fits my car.
