None taken brother, I was totally kidding. I just installed BMC filters. I can say confidentially that the exhaust note is louder and that shift fart is really loud. It almost sounds like a res delete mod. I'm not nuts. Probably no performance gain but if she's breathing easier it was worth it! |

Didn't hear turbo spool, but didn't push it either. I'm in a little quiet community and it's just too quiet for testing mods. Lol
I'll get it on the road tomorrow AM and post vid. |

i dont know what dinan "said" but as i said earlier in the thread i have the dinan s2 kit. i installed the intake myself and the oem cover is not going to fit over the filters. there are drop-in filters that work with the stock box but some have smaller media than the oem filters. again, as mentioned earlier i had bms drop-in filters on my f15 50i... i have nothing against the company and my feedback and posts are based on my experience. i am simply sharing my opinion based on what i have installed, driven and experienced. if you would like to buy items, force them to fit or hack up oem parts then by all means go for it. your cash, your car, your call. https://f15.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1431682 https://f15.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...5&postcount=34 Fitment of Dinan Air Filter in stock OEM box:

I think we misunderstood each other and I apologize. On the other Dinan intake thread (https://f15.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...8#post24934798), I was talking about installing the filters without the lid. Not modifying the stock lid. I know its not the optimal way of doing it, but I don't really believe that I would be losing much "gains" without the lid versus not having the higher volume filters at all. I don't expect much "gains" with just an intake kit or air filters. More for sound. I realize that with a tune and exhaust the gains from the intake will amplify, but for now just looking for an affordable way of adding something to my car. |

no worries; i am simply here to add to conversation if possible. if you're only looking for more sound then driving without the lid will definitely achieve that but you would probably lose a great deal of low-end from all the hot air you're sucking in. considering the price of any intake for this platform i would skip it completely it is if it is a stand-alone "mod". money better spent elsewhere if not combined with supporting hardware and software.

Oh man, congrats! Makes me want to go the Dinan route versus just a air filter upgrade

After I returned the springs, BMC filters, and a couple other BS things I bought for her, I had enough for this! 🤘 I have the Velos set up, it's really something. I figure the extra 20HP I can pick up doing DP's or the Dinan. This is the play for sure. Although who knows, next week I'll be getting another box! 🤪 |

Old thread but looking to see if anyone has experience installing the F85 Dinan Cold Air Intake on the F15 50i? Looking to see if it's plug and play and if there are any photos floating around?
