Does installing this intake cause any issues or any lights to come on? I have heard people say that modifications like this need to be coded/flashed or they can cause problems or engine lights to come on?

Not sure if that is true that is mainly why I am asking.

convey any updates on those videos?

It does cause the check engine light on a small number of cars ... If you make sure MAF sensor is cleaned and installed correctly you have a very good chance of not getting a check engine light

If you have a JB4 you wont get any light for sure

EDIT: I thought the intake you are inquiring about was the N55. For the B58 intake we have not gotten a single check engine light problem

Thanks for the quick reply!

Will that cause the warranty to void or cause any issues if I have to take her to the dealer for work? I just picked up my 340xi two weeks ago and have been contemplating on what mods to do to make sure i do not mess up my warranty.

Dealers are very easy with intake mods ... Should not be a problem

I have not seen any issues with the intakes in terms of CELs

Well I just ordered one. Will let y'all know what's what once I get it and have it installed.

Spikey · 04-13-2016, 07:29 PM

Yea definitely no CELs, Rheingold shows no errors either. So far so good.

The noise is interesting at times... as it sucks in air, then you let go of accelerator... makes a loud-ish, hollow, echo sound haha. Would love to hear some flutter noises coming out of my B58

I get a good bit of flutter when I accelerate a little hard at low RPMs in second or third gear and take it to around 4-6k let go and get a nice whoosh and the flutter at the end

Just placed my order for one of these. I'll record some audio clips also.

Congrats!!!

FYI to all

Remove the 4 silver metal clips from the OEM airbox bottom by bending them
down, and then folding them back up, and sliding them down.

AWESOME, Will give this a go later. So if you want to reattached them, I guess reverse action should do it right?

I got mine off last night, but it was a much bigger pain than I had imagined. Even the three easy to reach ones gave me hell. I almost had a break down on the fourth one, it eventually came off when I accidentally "springboarded" it, then I had to get a magnet to retrieve it from the engine bay. My hands hurt and I'm just trying to keep my mind on the JB4 I have coming today so I don't have any flashbacks and start weeping at work, lolz.

Sorry for such the late reply, been just swamped with things. He really enjoys the intake; there are no issues with check engine lights.

Ill do a crappy iphone video then, to get something out at least

Installed mine today! Everything went relatively smoothly, but make sure you take of all the silver clips before tightening up the hose clamps. One of the silver clips is inaccessible if you're all clamped in.

The sound from the intake is a satisfying wooooOOOooSh that you can hear even with all the windows up. The sweet spot seems to be between 2k to 4k RPM at 25-40 mph. One thing that I found strange is that the sound isn't a constant tone when under throttle; it'll noticeably fluctuate in volume and tone when you're on the gas, but this is probably just engine management regulating the amount of air.

Overall, very happy with this easy little install. Good quality product, easy install, and fun noises afterwards. Happy customer so far !
