Man it's so close 1/3 inch eh? Yeah, as CT335xi said running completely without cover may reduce it's effectiveness and hence it will be no better (if not worse) than X5M air filters. Maybe you can close lid at least on the back? Not sure if that will be any better.
Tough situation man. |

Lol I would actually use some black duct tape to close off openings on the side and front - but that's just a cheap fix as I can't see myself paying $1000 for a lid from Dinan.

Sorry for the delay folks.
Here they are installed minus the cover. I'm determined to find a solution for this

Maybe someone with a 3D printer can make a spacer to make the box higher to fit the DINAN filters. Then all you will need is longer bolts.

To revive this thread somewhat....anyone have blueprints of the cover that we could 3D print?

What did you ever do with this? Just left it open or did you figure something out?

I do have to say there is zero difference in sound with the cover on, with the cover off you can hear the filters which I do miss. The child in me wants to figure out a way to make the Aftermarket intake from the five series work with our car

Let me know how it turns outs. It's time to replace my filter and this is what I was thinking of doing.

Did you ever log IATs? I'm wondering how much of a difference the lid even makes. My thought is that it gets so hot under the hood that the lid might not even make that much of a difference.

I don't have a way to log yet but I doubt it. Maybe once I get my bm3 tune it may make a difference but until then I would feel the difference to be negligent.

Wow, those filters look great!
If they don't fit, what about adding these BMC from IND? Looks killer.

I don't thinking running the filter housing without the cover makes a whole lot of sense. The stock system pulls air from in front of the radiator where the air is cool whereas if you leave the cover off you'll pull some air from the front, but also some of the hot turbulent air from around the engine.

It's just a hypothesis but my guess is when idling, filters with no covers would yield IATs 15-20* higher and only 2-3* higher when in motion.
