Smile 335 Gt AFE Intake

After a lot of research - I am anal about that - I decided to install a AFE momentum intake on my wife's 335 GT - according to AFE this will be the first GT to try and install this intake - AFter checking with BMW the part numbers for the stock intake on the 14 335I and the 335Gt are the same so I am hoping it fits. If everything works out I will have the car on a dyno and post the results - do not expect a lot but my guess is about 10HP and 15 torque to the wheels -which equals about 1/10 quicker in the 1/4-- her car is a all wheel drive. This should put her in a consistant high 12 sec range. A nice exhaust will be the next step.

Please try and test before/after assembly of the AFE.
I'll be impressed if you end up with + 3 whp, but let's see.
Good luck,

right now the car is 311HP at the wheels with a stage one as the only mod - we shall see - regardless real test is what difference we can get in the 1/4 and will the car run cooler - if we can pick up 1/10 or so could care less about the dyno number

True, but 1/10 isn't much and many other factors comes in as well.
Hope you have done a lot of quarters in order to have a reliable average.

Since the car is all wheel drive and a auto the variables are a lot less in the 1/4( over 50 runs) - We constantly monitor Density Altitude and engine temp and adust her dial times accordingly - Not rookies at this - her best time is posted on Drag Times under 14 BMW 335 - with the weight of her car with driver a 10 hp gain should gain 1/10 - apples to apples using adjusted times for DA -

AFE Momentum Intake installed today on the 335GT and it took 20 minutes and fits fine - will be sending pictures to AFe so the can include GT in their fitment approved - Wife will be running a test and tune at the track tomorrow and will see what difference it makes - a little more woosh at full throttle for sure but not too much. Will dyno next week. Very nice product quality design and fitment!!

No but used the instructions that came with it - took me less 1/2 hour to install and that was doing a very neat job with tie wraps etc -

I should have been more specific. I was looking for your impressions after the install of your BMS Stage 1 and maybe even your dyno / 1/4 mile times (or the wifes times).

I've seen the video twice now and I have to ask, are the wire looms that sloppy under the motor cover? They're not zip-tied down at all? It just seem "messy"?

Well, I guess the movie would have been 2 hours if it was me routing the wires..
This just show all diy's where they should find the plugs right.
There are many way's of doing nice routing. -Choose one you like.
And fasten your piggy box with velcro, maybe in a bag as it might snow/rain heavily one day..

Do you know what the MPH was on that run? and the 60'?

With the intake, some light wheels and sticky tires, there might be a 12.6x-12.7x in there.

60 ft was 1.97 trap time was 106 - all wheel drive so tires make no difference except possible weight - also the DA was around 1000 if I remember =not great but not bad - our track is at 90Ft above sea level but we are always humid being so close to the coast - as I have said before on this forum - that is a very impressive car for the weight and HP - My mustang is 400lbs lighter has 100 more HP at the wheels and I am a low 12 sec car at 115 - - it is the immediate torque that makes her car go.

test and tune night - air was not too bad right about 1000DA -4 runs with the new AFE intake and it did just about what we thought nothing to blow your mind but she gained a little over 1/10 and 1 mph (2/10 and 2 mph DA adjusted) best time was 12.88 at 107 - her previous best is listed above - - she said the car did feel more responsive and I did several engine temp checks and it did run cooler - so all in all performed as advertised which is always nice - done with mods on the car for this season but will for sure put in a nice exhaust for next year if we can find one that fits the GT as it is longer and wider than a 335 -
one other note besides racing we both really love the car all the fun of a sedan , more storage room than a X3 and more leg room room than a 5 series.

Very nice. 0.1 and 1 MPH is on the money for such a small mod.
