Hey guys,
I finally decided to pull the trigger on the AFE Magnum for my 2015 335 M-Sport. The AFE website did not specifically indicate that this would fit a 2015, but I figured that there wouldn't be much difference between the 2015 and the older F3X. I found it on Amazon for 322.00 and, upon trying to install it, found that it wouldn't fit. It just didn't line up right after the mounting points were in the right places. So, I was like WTF?? I sent it back and confirmed with AFE that it would fit a 2015, which they indicated it would. I ordered another one and, this time, it fit like a glove. I think the one bracket of the old one was simply not welded in the right place, which led to my fitment issues. In any event, it's on and sounds very good. I have had no CEL or idle issues up to this point. Tough to tell if there are any gains. So, it does fit the 2015, but I must have received a bad one at first.

Good to know that they got it working.
You think the one you found on amazon was not genuine hence why it would not fit correctly or just bad luck ?

I think I just got a bad one off the bat. AFE confirmed that Amazon is a distributor of theirs, so I don't doubt that it was genuine. I would think that machines are welding these things, but maybe not. My luck the first one I got was probably welded on a Friday at 3:59 when the work day ends at 4:00

Thanks for being the guinea pig! I believe I spoke to you or someone else in regards to a 2015 and I wasn't too sure.
