Do I need to take them out before dealer service?

Dunno the actual gain in power, any bros here have use it before? and please comment

Does the stock filter also reusable? Or at least recyclable?
But, in any case you can get it replace for free under first two-year warranty,

No, I feel you since I have the same issue ... would probably do a Inspection II from BMWHK later this year to see what is their answer ...

The pick up is instant, which recall me the feel of my fd's track-ready Tyre-R with light pulley!
The rev just flapping when throttle tip in, without any delay, and the car like the arrow released.
Feeling my right foot was one part of the engine..
yeah can not life with out it.
The car becomes alive like the transformers

This one cost only half to a 2010 535i, sounds like a bargain!
Also 399K is asking price, you can try fight for a lower offer as it has higher mileage.
40i is way too big and no turbo which can not save fuel.
find a LCI 535i but better and loads of mods too.
