great job. May seem like a small item, but the fact that you had a solid white background when showing the parts made all the difference. Again - thx for the good vid.
I bought the same intake on my E90! Yeah it's expensive but definitely worth it. The sound is amazing! Makes you want to floor your car every time just to hear the intake. Also on that note can you make a video showing how to clean the intake filter???
Frank Poncherello got one on my 325xi I love it all but where the intake and throttle body boot meet it kind of shitty Thinking about ordering a silicone boot from tuner Motorsports
Have a 2006 3.0L 6 speed manual 325i with the AFE and exhaust. Made a ton of difference. When I drove my friends exact year, make and model. Definitely see a deference.
How you got it to fit over the throttle body so easily is beyond me.. took me forever and a lot of back pain to get that damn thing to fit over the rubber thing for the throttle body.
I bought the exact same intake for my 328i e92, description said it supposedly fit my year and model but had trouble with the fitment couldn’t get it to fit so ended up installing it with out the afe box sadly, but still runs and looks great, it’s an expensive intake but we’ll worth it
just had this same issue and can’t find any different part numbers on AFE’s website but there are some differences in the models one has the brass barb fitting and the one that works on my car doesn’t have a brass barb fitting. hopefully i can get the correct one.
Nice intake! I don’t trust the oiled filters beings so close to the MAF some people report issues some don’t. I run an AFE dry filter in a euro box with a rev motoring intake boot. A very similar set up! I think you’ll be very happy with it.
Another good vid. You know your stuff. I’m curious as to how the car does with the CAI. I’ve read some BMWs don’t like them and the owners go back to the original. Keep us posted and keep up the good work.
I just installed this intake like 2 weeks ago. I noticed a difference in acceleration. My car responds better now. It’s pricey but I mean what ever. Just installed the intake bmw m performance exhaust and a tune on my 330i
I wish it was it was a little louder but I still love it. I payed $1000 for it and installed it at my job. The performance gains uhh barely noticeable especially since I installed the intake so I mean I bought it for sound. It was worth it for me I can say that.
I mean if I were to go by the claimed numbers of each product it should be around 40-50 more hp to the wheels but who knows until i want to take it to a dyno if I ever
thinking of doing a video on BMS Powerbox on my 330i which i've heard some great reviews on, i think i'll do that and couple it with a intake and bmw performance exhaust
Not going to lie I got this for my 07 328i E92 and it was a bitch to put in I swear, for a minute I though I had order the wrong one but after shoving it in I got it to fit! Prefer and nice solid fit.
We're sorry to hear that and hope it all worked out okay. Of course, if you have any serious concerns, we recommend reaching out to aFe, or the company you purchased from.
Followed your video thoroughly and messed the whole thing up, got up until the throttle body adapter and sliding the intake tube through I couldn’t attach it
Ordered this for my 2011 328i xdrive and it did not fit ! Tried to put it on yesterday . Do you have any recommendations for which brand I should get that will fit my car ??
I have the same car and had the exact same problem, what I ended up doing was removing the metal ring on the inside of it and it works great. Hope this helps!
Hey Jd, I just placed an order for this exact air intake. Can you tell me if that rubber connection the kit came with is connected directly to the throttle body, or is it connected to a plastic part off the old air box? It is kinda hard to tell in your video. The only reason I ask is because I have an Injen Intake currently installed, it is connected directly to the throttle body with a similar looking rubber bridge. I recently found out the rubber bridge connecting the throttle body to the intake had melted. Just need to know if i need to go fish out one of the old parts from my original airbox for this new AFE intake. Thanks! Love the videos!
My MAFS is stuck, and feels like it's gonna break if too much pressure is applied. Any help? I'm about to go pay a shop to do the work in case they break the MAFS and therefore have to replace it.
What are the measurements for the coupler? I bought a used 08 328 with same AFE cold air intake but the idiot did not install the correct coupler so the intake has a gap.
I tried installing this on my model, but I have issues trying to connect the intake tube into the throttle body adapter. How did you get yours to get in?
yea i looked back because it looked like he just slid that shit in 😂 noticed the edit yea its a pain but im currently stick at that point gotta get it done tonight though so ill let yall know how it goes
where is that follow up vid that shows the baseline vs after install and the sound of the intake video? i'm sorry if i missed it somewhere on your page.
Getting that second housing screw in was a nightmare. Took me over 30 min to get that stupid screw to drop and tighten. Besides that, installation was a breeze
Anyone have a hard time connecting the hose to the throttle body adapter! I’ve been fighting with it over and over. Is there another part? Am I suppose to use some of the oem piping? It’s like a inch away from being flush
yes there is a rubber boot they add in the package. it goes over your throttle body boot and connects the intake tube....mine was for an N51 and the fitment was horrible! I warrantied it, and had to mix and match pieces to get it to fit snug. deff not an 100% exact fit I was disappointed.
Reginald Dufour I had the same problem. I just forced it on as best I could and tightened the clamp. No vacuum leaks as far as I can tell. Edit: I installed it three months ago, so it’s held in there well enough.
Christian Garcia thx for the update, I’m really scared that the gasket will drop / move away from the tube while I’m driving, creating a vacuum and damage the engine while I’m driving. AFE sent me another gasket but it not the issue here is the fkn tube.....
It don't cut because of my lack of understanding...I cut for one simple reason: attention retention. Pauses with lack of engagement result in loss of attention.
great job. May seem like a small item, but the fact that you had a solid white background when showing the parts made all the difference. Again - thx for the good vid.
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
Bro thank you so much! this is so detailed for a short video!
No wasted minutes!
What's the point of you don't get to hear before and after sound clip
Geez...precisely!!!
DAMN, START IT AND LET US HEAR HER
Awesome, thinking of getting one of these for my e90 n52, thanks a lot!
That looks so beautiful! Good video man I'm waiting for you to come back and show us power gains and sound!
Thanks man! I'll have some exciting new content next week!
I bought the same intake on my E90! Yeah it's expensive but definitely worth it. The sound is amazing! Makes you want to floor your car every time just to hear the intake. Also on that note can you make a video showing how to clean the intake filter???
Hahaha exactly! Lots of fun to accelerate! Good idea, I'll add that video to the list.

I have a AFE Magnum stage 2 Pro air intake on my e90 and I love it 👍🏼
Same here! Awesome intake!
Ksoupias Whats the Horsepower gain?
How much hp gain? Any dyno ?
Gotta hear the sound :))
Nice job bud, looks great !
It sounds AWESOME. Thanks for watching!

Shoot! I’m sorry to hear that. Did you contact afe about the fitment issue?
Same for me just seen this comment ima try to throw it on without the housing now
Mine came with different parts and the tube even curves way more than this one. I had to return it because it didnt fit 🤨
just had this same issue and can’t find any different part numbers on AFE’s website but there are some differences in the models one has the brass barb fitting and the one that works on my car doesn’t have a brass barb fitting. hopefully i can get the correct one.
@@ericazucena4062 i just ended up taking the charcoal delete + kn drop in route. I also did the mishimoto intake resonator delete

Good to know...I'll probably get a dry filter for the summer. Thanks for watching!
ruclips.net/video/cdgx04qI3uI/видео.html
yeah i also heard that the oil may end up inside your engine...
on the afe website there is two different ones a darker blue and ones a grey which one is the dry one ?
Does it cause more air to go in than usual? My old aftermarket intake cause too much air in the engine Wich kept throwing the check engine light
my guy how does it sound
I can’t wait to buy one of these!
Lol
500$ no thanks !! Thank you for the amazing video though, really helpful and great shots
sponsored man
I bought this myself and got it off ebay on a $400 bid , it made a huge difference.
I know the price is steep...but this truly does make a noticeable difference. Also the fitment is perfect...truly a nice kit.
I’m sure it does make a difference but personally 500$ is s big investment to only have a noticeable difference! Appreciate the reply though 👍🏽
Awesome video thanks for the help!
Glad to be of help!
Congrats on the sponsor!
Thank you!
Your videos are amazing,Just wish u had more detail in them as your channel has inspired me to get a BMW 328i.
Thank you! I try to keep them exciting
Another good vid. You know your stuff. I’m curious as to how the car does with the CAI. I’ve read some BMWs don’t like them and the owners go back to the original. Keep us posted and keep up the good work.
I'll keep you updated... so far so good! Thank you for the support!
I have the same intake on my E90 and I love it, it is much louder too. I use it without the carbon fiber cover. I've had it for about a year now.
I just installed this intake like 2 weeks ago. I noticed a difference in acceleration. My car responds better now. It’s pricey but I mean what ever. Just installed the intake bmw m performance exhaust and a tune on my 330i
was the m performance exhaust worth the money?
I wish it was it was a little louder but I still love it. I payed $1000 for it and installed it at my job. The performance gains uhh barely noticeable especially since I installed the intake so I mean I bought it for sound. It was worth it for me I can say that.
I do have a tune. Just installed that a couple of days ago. I got it tuned after my intake and exhaust. i love my car a lot more
I mean if I were to go by the claimed numbers of each product it should be around 40-50 more hp to the wheels but who knows until i want to take it to a dyno if I ever
thinking of doing a video on BMS Powerbox on my 330i which i've heard some great reviews on, i think i'll do that and couple it with a intake and bmw performance exhaust

Dude same here! He cuts out those hard parts
Patience and persistence is the key. I don't include 10-15mins of me struggling just because a bolt angle was difficult
holy edit batman
Ordered this for my 2011 328i xdrive and it did not fit ! Tried to put it on yesterday . Do you have any recommendations for which brand I should get that will fit my car ??
Can I get this on my 2015 528i?
Have one, best n51/52 intake on the market
Would you say this is the best air intake for bmws ?
should MAF go into the intake tube hole with the green oring?
If you can get it to fit, yes. If you can't get it to fit, use the included black gasket
Nice! Is there a hole on the bottom of this afe airbox?
I don’t remember, sorry
Make sure to bang limiter on the sound video.
Hahahaha
Will it fit on an N51?
yes is the same engine the difference is n-51 is for states that have strict smog laws like California
Did you have any problems with your mass air flow sensor saying that there was to much air coming throw?
Nope! Worked great with no problems!
Also when you do this since it’s a different air filter where should you buy a new one from and what should I look at??
You can find replacement AFE air filters almost anywhere... Amazon offers them.
What filter type did you choose? Pro 5R Oiled (54-81012-C) or Pro Dry S (54-81012-C)?
Pro 5R Oiled
Thank you.
What are the difference between oiled and DRY S guys?
This didn't fit on my 06 325i
Kept popping out from the throttle body .
I have the same car and had the exact same problem, what I ended up doing was removing the metal ring on the inside of it and it works great. Hope this helps!

If I recall correctly, I just used that included rubber connecting collar. Everything you need is included! Thanks for watching!

is your maf wiring too short? If so what did you do?
@@conorg7944 did you figure it out?
did you fix it?
@@conorskate-yf7vx Yea, got it undone. Everything works fine.
@@conorg7944my maf wiring is too short, if anyone has any leads to help would be much appreciated!!
What are the measurements for the coupler? I bought a used 08 328 with same AFE cold air intake but the idiot did not install the correct coupler so the intake has a gap.
Sorry.. I no longer have this car.
the install wasnt bad,
Fit for bmw e90 lci 2009 motor n46n? Hope someone can answer me and if exist other options of intakes
I tried installing this on my model, but I have issues trying to connect the intake tube into the throttle body adapter. How did you get yours to get in?
Just a little bit of persistence!
yea i looked back because it looked like he just slid that shit in 😂 noticed the edit yea its a pain but im currently stick at that point gotta get it done tonight though so ill let yall know how it goes

It sounds awesome... also adds noticeable power

Stiff video keep it up
Does this fit my bmw 330i 2006 e90
I'm not sure... I would check on the BAVauto site.
Yes it will, I have one on my 06 330i 6mt looove iiit😊
Everything included in delivery?
Yes
Bávauto is great to buy from and they price match
I agree! They are very fair with their prices.
why do you cut a half second before the rest of your sentence? like 3000 edits in one video sounds choppy
Anyone have a hard time connecting the hose to the throttle body adapter! I’ve been fighting with it over and over. Is there another part? Am I suppose to use some of the oem piping? It’s like a inch away from being flush
yes there is a rubber boot they add in the package. it goes over your throttle body boot and connects the intake tube....mine was for an N51 and the fitment was horrible! I warrantied it, and had to mix and match pieces to get it to fit snug. deff not an 100% exact fit I was disappointed.

So expensive
Worth it!
J Shrades $350-$400 not really.
I know debating this or BMS. This seems safer inregards to water/rain but I dunno
Nice video, but you cut far too many times, maybe try reading from some notes so you don't have to cut so much. It gets a little tedious.
It don't cut because of my lack of understanding...I cut for one simple reason: attention retention. Pauses with lack of engagement result in loss of attention.
Prefer the old intro tune
The "down" one?
Yup the down one waay better
How did you get this sponsorship with bav auto?
Lol I just got this yesterday
Sweet! Enjoy the power gains and awesome sound!
JD Cars how’s this intake affects your torque? Some people saying that it leads to loose some torque power
Finally!!! :D
Yeah! Finally!
Clean exterior, but dirty ass engine!
Hahaha
I bought M5 mufflers cost me $500 , now my 535i is waking up deads I feel sorry for ppl who paid $500 for an intake kkkkkkkk
great but this aint for a 5 series this is for 3 series..so who cares if ya 5 is waking up the dead
Pretty much paying big $$ to but a standard non US market Air Box...
Tobi Hall well if you can build a box that increases hp by 12 and tq by 16 let me know ill buy it
Too bad im freakin broke
I'm back and I'm about to buy this.
Hey man dm me on Instagram got some question about the intake🙏😎
Sure!
JD Cars bro you need to put notifications on on ig lol
So its basically cheap china filter. There should be no performance difference.
espro it adds 12 ho
12 hp
It has added noticeable power and makes the car sound a lot better
