Thanks CPG and Calvin for this. Wow. People couldn’t be lazier. Im reading thru comments to find valuable info. But all i see is questions asking if it fits this, if it fits that. READ guys, come on. Dude cant be any more clear. Fits 5, 6 and 7 series with n63/n63tu. If you don’t know what engine you have, maybe not a DIY for you... Anyway, use google, wiki, forums, whatever. Every engine ever put into any bmw platform is easily discovered with a VERY quick search. Also, if these instructions aren’t doing it for you-pay someone else. I put this at a 4.5/10 for install. Or as my dude Calvin says-its just like that. Changing downpipes on these beasts-now thats a challenge. Ps- intake tubes needed are for x5/x6 with the same motor..... intakes are routed towards front on those vehicles, not towards the rear as with these.
Maybe you need to read more. Looks like it only fits N63 made for 2018 or newer based on round rather than oval intakes to the airboxs on earlier N63 cars (like my ‘14 N63). I guess you don’t know about that huh?
@@MegaJugMan those are the 2014-2018 X5/X6 xDrive50i N63TU (N63B44O1) turbocharger inlet pipes and they bolt directly on to the N63B44O1 in the 5/6/7 series. The part numbers are listed and linked on the web site.
Hey, I did this modifcation with the new upgraded turbo intake inlets, however my Crank Case breather hose is too short to reach the new inlets. How did you resolve this issue or what length should I buy? Is there different lengths for a 2015 vs 2012 or other years?
Well it may appear to be difficult but once you remove them a couple of times they become easy and you know how to remove them going forward. But I agree that anytime it's someone's first time doing something it can appear to be much harder then it actually is. They do require a bit of constant pressure to be applied on both sides while pulling. Otherwise it's fairly easy.
I’m converting my 550i from an ARM Motorsport setup to a setup similar to this with those F15 X5 M intake boots. You can easily do it yourself. Takes one screw and undoing the PCV clamp. FCP Euro sells the inlets for like $56 a side w/ life time warranty.
Very nice and interested. Any CEL with the MAFs installed? Also, can the brace supports go back on or do they need to be off to make room for the intake pipe?
Thank you. Anytime you make modifications to a car, you should readapt the vehicle. If you properly readapt the car there should be no CEL with the MAFs installed. Otherwise you could get an air mass too high detection. And yes... the brace supports can be reinstalled.
@@cpgperformance1352 Thanks for the reply. This is the BEST version for the cold air intake on these N63 F 10s. You made it 10 times better than the other versions because of the forward facing Turbo inlets. 👍
Part of your statement is true while majority is incorrect. The truth is... You can hydrolock any car if you decide to drive (submerge) your car in water. However... There's no way shape or form that you'll hydrolock your car by driving in the rain whether it be factory or aftermarket intakes. If this was true... You'd be more worried about your factory setup vs aftermarket since your factory setup contains no filters up front. Also.... It would take a very bad horizontal rain storm to hydrolock while driving. 😂
Dish soap is the best practice lube for installation guys. Not Vasaline or any grease. Soap will dry up in minute after install. Grease/Vasaline will not and will lead to possible slip in the near/far future.
While there are many ways to lubricate. Vaseline will dry out also without the worries of any slippage. Feel free to try it for yourself. Hence the reason why I make mention to use it sparingly. A little goes a long way. I hope this helps...
HI, I understand how the maf sensors go , again my question is will they fit to the setup you have? I would like to see yours connected to know that they will fit into the tube, because the maf sensors are about 3 to 4 inches long and the wires connected to the sensors are short, so again for that kind of money, I would like to see that the sensors fit into the new tubing before I order this setup. Thanks! Robert Adkison
Please check the website as there's pictures with the MAFs installed and wires connected. If you have more questions after that, please feel free to message me via the website. I hope this helps.

When our customers reach out with installation questions, we provide them with all of the help necessary. Hope this helps...
I'm unsure of how the factory stock intakes look in the '11 X5. If you send me a message via the website with pictures, I can better assist in answering that question.
Sorry but I am a noob to all this but what is the difference between your intake with the maf and without the maf sensors? How does that work? Wont i get a cel?
Without the MAF Sensor is called a mafless setup. And yes... you will get a cel once disconnected but the cel is typically removed via tuning therefore no cel is triggered.
Our intakes take the exact same route as your factory setup takes to the front of the grill. The only differences being a straighter path coming off the turbo inlets, very less restrictive and we used hard piping to increase flow dynamics. So... We'd agree with your assessment of not being an expert as your completely wrong in regards to the flow.
Yes, the braces can be installed after installing the intakes. We have picture of this on our website under the intakes. Yes, you can get the intakes without the CPG logo on them. There's currently no option to change the color of the logo. Hope this helps...
These intakes should for your 2010 750 xDrive. They are made to fit all N63 & N63TU. If you'd like to be 100% sure...Please send a pic or two of your engine bay to cpgperformance2020@gmail.com so that we can verify. Hope this helps...
It's for the intake kit. Everything you see in the video is included. Please visit our website @ www.cpgperformance.com for more info. Hope this helps.
I noticed that your tubes are facing forward and therefore you didn't need to use a 90 to get it turned forward, but I also noticed how far it put your map sensors towards the front end of the motor. So why didn't you show how you put the sensors back, because it's important in order for the car to idle and run correctly. The sensors that you removed from the original air box intake, is closer to the top of the motor. Can you please make another video showing how you reconnected the sensors. Thanks!
The sensors can only be mounted 1 way in the housings. There's no 2 ways about it. They can only properly go into the maf housing and screw down 1 way. If inserted the other direction, the holes simple don't line up. Hope this helps...

@@2ndAmendProtectorWe have confirmed fitment on your vehicle as it's a N63R vs N63/N63TU. However... Your car utilizes different MAFs which requires different MAF housings.

Do you recommend driving in the rain with this intake? Reason I ask is because obviously those filters will get soaked and will foul out the maf sensors?
There's a big misconception that people have on driving in the rain with intakes. This intake is no different than the factory intake as far as routing is concerned. Actually... I'd be more concerned about driving in the rain with the factory intakes vs these. That's because the factory plastic routed to the front is open without a filter. However... the truth is... unless you submerge your car in water, you don't have to worry about driving in the rain with these intakes. The filters should sit back in the grill if installed properly. Also the aerodynamics of the car won't allow huge amounts of water to go into the grill area while driving as the water will flow over the hood because of the cars aerodynamics. With all of this said... you only have to worry about issues if you submerge your car in water and that's with any intake whether it's factory or aftermarket. I hope this helps...
