Riss Racing S2 Ram Air Intake or BMW Performance intake? which is better?

Hey Everyone,
I am planning on getting a new intake for my E92 335i, and was wondering which once is better.
The Riss Racing Stage 2 Ram Air Intake or the BMW Performance intake?
Thanks.

Danny

FYI, here are the links for both:

That BMW Performance intake is not for the 335.
Looks like it's for the 328.

thats not exactly a choice. The BMW Performance Intake is not for the 335i.

Here are the last two lines of the description for the BMW intake...

* For 3 Series 2006-on: 325i, 328i, 330i

*Price includes Free Ground Shipping! (US only).

Ok, I know its been discussed a gazzillion times, but I thought I'd help you out. Its not for the 335 sorry.

Dinan has a nice looking one with a real CAI. Appearance and function. If you are looking at the RISS one, its mostly function. But I also can't tell which one does better than the other being that the RISS one has no CAI. Wait for the Dinan one to hit the market and read people's reviews first. Assuming it doesn't require you hand over your first born, I think its looking like the best one out there.

There will be a BMW Perf intake available for the 335 later this summer.
