Buying Intake

I am thinking to buy an Intake but which one should I get? Can anyone help me please? Please post the link also so I can look at it. The price does not care to me. I have a 128 by the way. Thankyou!

hmm I wonder if a K&N filter can be fitted on a 128i, kinda like the ones on burgertuning.com. The ones they sell for the 35s won't fit on the 28. I had the same search for fitting filters on my Kawasaki 250R Ninja. Sometimes you get lucky and find a perfect fit with larger SA.
Sadly, I'm assuming the warranty will go to waste if you do something other than the bmw performance intakes. =[

Maybe if we got a lot of people to request, they'd make one soon ? I already sent in my request!

I already have a K&N filter in my 128i, but what i would really love to have is a K&N cold air intake system, now that would be something

Yea that's there too, but thats just replacing the OEM filter inside the airbox.

I was thinking one step higher than that, and I guess one step lower than a full on cold air intake system. Something like what burgertuning.com has for the 35's made by K&N

http://www.burgertuning.com/bmsintake.html

In this sense, its almost a cold intake, since the OEM nozzle is still sorta blowing outside air in the general direction of the filter lol. I'd definitely be excited to see a similar product for the 128i around the price of $100. This is the kind of product that I meant we could ask for when I asked more people to request it at the K&N site. Replace the airbox entirely.

That is kind of cool, I feel that the airbox for the 128 severly restrics the airflow, so i'm looking at finding any way of getting rid of it, even if it means making my old intake system with autozone parts, which can be done btw lol but it would look pretty shitty, but again it also does add a few hp, and allows the car to breath a lot easier

Will a 135i intake fit on the 128? If so get the Injen Dual Cone, that thing looks bad ass. And gets pretty good numbers for an intake, on the 135i anyway...

I asked burgertuning and they specifically said that neither of the cold are intake systems made by K&N would fit in the 128i. I am personally just taking their word for it, since I haven't gone about snooping under my hood and a 135's to see the difference in airbox system differences. As for other filter brands, I don't know. Post other intake systems so we can all see.

I wish the K&N request for 128i intake products was stickied or something and had every1 on this forum do it .
