intake option, X5M drop in Filters?
i tried searching, someone told me that this was an option, obviously from their experience they fit, are they different than the filters from the 5.0 engine? any improvement?
Anyone else do this, have a part number? |

so to expand on my comment. same filter type, same design, same factory fit, but different measurements for the filter surface area...
https://www.google.com/search?q=x5m+...il1YfeRnWkM%3A this is kind of what they look like. the x5 m just has more Filter surface, so i believed it would have a higher CFM. the actual engine is very similar for both cars....imagine the same engine, just bigger turbos and more robust, and way better in every way

only reason to recommend these filters is if you plan on a Tune, and any exhaust modification. if we can have the air filter not be the limiting factor other then computer control, then why not...

i will be getting them, im really looking for maybe added sound of intake, and then to help the tune breathe easier, I put a bmc filter on the m3 and you could notice and aural difference. Im sure its not for power, maybe one could argue efficiency.

They are drop in. You do need two, but the left and right ones are different part numbers.
That said I don't think it's worth it as a "tune" but if you need new filters, then by means get these. They don't increase sound or anything. I only got them because my old filters were dirty. Part numbers are 13717850055 and 13717850056 if you do want to order them. |

i am not interested in making the vehicle faster it's a porker and it's peppy for what it is but it is muted. this must be the quietest v8 i have ever owned.

iconoclast i can promise you this, if its anything like the e90 m3 bmc filter drop in, you can tell the difference inside the cabin immediately. I took my car in for service one time, when i got the car back on the way home the sound was off, and i had an AA exhaust on it but knew it didn't sound right, i opened up the air box and found they took my bmc and tossed it for a stock filter, the dealer had to buy me a new one!

i took the plastic engine cover off, and noticed i could hear more engine....nothing crazy tho just un muffled. in all honesty, the filters probably aren't totally worth it, but then again, i just sold my x5 for a jacked up jeep rubicon....my priorites are all fd up

i totally did not feel that way, but i did spend alot of time windows down and pedal to the floor. and upgraded to GTHAUS catback, so i must have not been satisfied, but if you go aftermarket one car, you go aftermarket all cars thinking of the class of car, luxury and suv, i thought it was the best, other then Ms and AMGs, GTS maybe...

i would never give any money to gthaus or ever buy a meisterschaft product. deceptive fraudsters who took advantage of many individuals but that's a different topic. i do not drive with windows down and pedal to floor so i have had a different experience and would a slight increase in engine volume and exhaust volume and note.

I do not drive with windows down either. The X5 seems quiet inside. I like this. Friend in a DD sports car says he's dead every time he goes on a road trip.
My friend did tell me my car is very loud on the outside especially when I plow the thing. |

i dont get how this is not a big thing on this forum, with everyone getting tunes/exhaust/ and other mods i would think this would be one of everyone first choices.... considering there is no full intake option at the moment.

i imagine it is because demand in general if fairly low and judging by the construction of it the product may cost more to create than it is worth or even worse that the difference is so small there is no point. no idea just speculating.

honestly throwing the exhaust on actually drowned out the road noise and rattling and i had no complaints after that

but more likely then not, we do not have the same ratios of people willing to modify vs those who wouldn't. Ms and such are purposed built and ready for young teenage dreams

Though it definitely is louder than a Range Rover. That one is just quiet in inside. |
