BMS N55 intake still have idle issues??

Freestylerfalcon · 11-11-2017, 09:49 PM

Hello.

I am considering ordering a BMS intake for my all stock 2014 f30 n55. Mainly for an upgrade in sound.

I know there are a few threads about rough idles issues but these are mainly from 2015 and earlier.

Do these issues still exist?? Can I expect the intake to run smoothly with stock ecu and no other mods?

Thanks.

To be 100% honest you will never know until you install it on your car. Each car is different, some run fine others have issues with this intake.

If you have a JB4, it will run fine on your car (with MAF removed).

If you dont have a Jb4 get a closed intake or the CTS intake

My vote is to get the CTS but I'm biased

I have the AFE magnum 2 and it's been good.

+1 for CTS Intake! I have had it on my car for about 8,000 miles! No issues what so ever ! And the sound! OMFG!

Oh man I wish I did research before trusting my tuner to put a Dinan cf cold air intake- it works fine. But when I close my window- I don't hear any sound- yuk And it costs 600

Ouch. Yea I was looking mostly for sound. But I'm sure the Dinan is a pretty solid performer.

I haven't really heard of idle issues recently.. Do you have the JB4 installed? With JB4 there is no issue.. Only if stock and running just intake.

I have the BMS and love it. No issues . Got it when i already had a JB4. sounds amazing!

wdeerfield · 11-20-2017, 02:19 PM

since most people who say no issues state they removed the MAF and/or have a JB4, the answer is YES..There are still issues with idle and potential CEL

Well no JB4 installed yet. On the car for 8,000 miles, was the first mod I did. And no problems whatsoever. CTS Turbo intake.

TMac335i · 11-29-2017, 01:33 PM

BMS intake here and i have never had any issues.

wdeerfield · 11-29-2017, 03:39 PM

The answer is Yes and the answer is it's hit or miss with no way to tell for sure who will have an issue.

Its 329.99 right now but i hit it when they were running a black friday sale of 15% off.

I'll tell you, the blow off noises are very loud. was not expecting it to be this loud. The stock airbox really does silence the intake. I have 200+ miles on it so far and no issues with CEL. Install was very easy and i just took my time to align the parts so they fit right. There is one wire on my car i had to move up where the heat shield hits but it has enough slack that i didnt even cut the ziptie holding the wire. its the wire near the 8mm nut closest to the firewall that you use to mount the heatshield.
